I love frosted sugar cookies! And I love to bake them when I have time. I also have an obsession of collecting cookie cutters.
I have a tote full of cookie cutters just for Christmas. It's a collection ranging from hand-me-downs to clearance finds. My favorite shapes are the vintage tin Christmas tree cookie cutter shapes.
My ex's grandma always was on the hunt for a wreath cookie cutter that had a “hole” in it. I finally found one and think of her every time I use it, rest her soul.
