Choosing the best cookie cutter depends almost entirely on what shape you want your cookies to be. However, there are a few other factors to consider before purchasing your cookie cutter. Everything from the material of the cookie cutter to its ease of storage can have an impact on the assortment of cookie cutters you choose to add to your kitchen.

What is the best material for my cookie cutter?

Cookie cutters come in four different materials: plastic, stainless steel, copper and aluminum. Plastic and aluminum cookie cutters are the least expensive, and they are easy to use. They often have a blunter edge, making them the safest option to use with young children.

Are the cookies decorated before or after baking?

If you start decorating your cookies before they are completely cooled, the icing will melt. Make sure each batch is completely cooled before you start adding the icing. We recommend waiting at least 2 hours after baking to decorate with royal icing. Once the cookies are iced, let them set for at least 6 hours before handling.

Preservation of decorated cookies and sugar cookies

The sugar cookie recipe favored by our friends across the Atlantic, called"sugar cookies" are buttery, moist and so tasty. They are perfect for all occasions, birthdays, weddings, and are appreciated by all.

Usually, sugar cookie recipes yield large quantities of cookies. Even though they disappear quickly, we often want to make them ahead of time so we can eat them or bring them in later to share with others. But how long do these delicious cookies last?

There are several ways to store sugar cookies. All involve an airtight container. An important factor in keeping cookies fresh longer is to limit their exposure to air and heat.

Humidity and heat promote bacterial growth. Exposure to air also causes your sugar cookies to go bad more quickly.

To avoid or delay this, you must first cool your sugar cookies completely. Then you can wrap your cookies individually in plastic wrap, put them in a freezer bag or place them in an airtight container.

If you are wrapping several cookies together, put a layer of baking paper between each cookie to prevent them from sticking together.

Then, depending on how long you want to use the cookies, you can choose to store them at room temperature, in the refrigerator, in the freezer, undecorated or decorated.
