"cookie-cutter" の定義と意味

What is a "cookie-cutter"?

A cookie-cutter is a kitchen tool used to cut out shapes from rolled-out dough to make cookies or other baked goods. It typically consists of a sharp-edged metal or plastic shape attached to a handle or base. To use a cookie-cutter, you press the cutter firmly into the dough, then lift it away, leaving behind a perfectly shaped piece of dough. Cookie-cutters come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including circles, hearts, stars, animals, and seasonal designs. They are valued for their ability to create uniform and decorative cookies, allowing bakers to customize their treats for holidays, special occasions, or everyday baking.
