Are sugar cookies the only type cookies that can be used with cookie cutters? I'm not sure but they are the only ones I ever see in different shapes. So when I was given a Mustache Cookie Cutters by Fuzzy Ink I thought I guess I'm making some sugar cookies.
This cookie cutter set features three stainless steel mustache shaped cookie cutters. They measure around 4″W x 1.25-1.5″T but vary depending on which mustache you are using. Mustache shapes have many names but the three featured in this cookie cutter trio set are sometimes called The Walrus, Handle Bars, and The Cop. The cookie cutters feel durable and cut through dough like a breeze.
Personally, sugar cookies aren't really my thing. They are too plain for my tastes. I much prefer something with chocolate in them (or something like my peanut butter cookies). Surprisingly, the sugar cookie recipe I found turned out pretty good.
Yummy Sugar Cookie Recipe
You will need a cup butter (softened), 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, an egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon cream of tartar.
Mix together the butter and confectioners' sugar until it's really smooth. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Add the flour, baking soda and cream of tartar into the creamed mixture. Cover and chill the dough for at least two hours. I let my dough sit in the fridge over night. Well, actually it was almost 2 nights because I got busy and didn't have time to make them. If this happens to you and you notice the dough is hard after coming out of the fridge, just pop it in the microwave for 30 second intervals under it's soft. Worked like a charm.
Once your dough has chilled preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a floured surface, roll out the dough out to your desired thickness and cut into shapes with cookie cutters.
Place cookie cut outs about 1.5 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet and cook for about 8 minutes. I would keep an eye on them around the 5 minute mark to make sure they aren't browning around the edges. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing them.
You can eat these cookies plain or add icing to them like I did. What is your favorite type of cookie?

So adorable… I love my super simple peanut butter cookies. 🙂

I do not know where the whole mustache thing came in and how it became so popular but it is the newest craze. I personally love me some gooey and chewy chocolate chip cookies.
I totally agree. I’m not sure how that came about either. It’s kinda funny.
These are adorable, and I love the sugar cookie recipe for its easiness. I’m so lousy with anything that requires a rolling pin! Thanks for the tip on using the microwave to soften the dough. I’ll be trying these out in the very near future.
I’m lousy rolling out dough too. I make my husband do it lol. He can put even pressure better than I can.

That is very true! I plan on using some for jello jigglers this weekend 🙂
How adorable are those! I love them! I’m not big into sugar cookies either and sometimes I feel like cookie cutters are time consuming, but those are just too fun to pass up. I’ve made chocolate chip cookies with cookie cutters before. I’m pretty sure most cookies work out with cutters as long as they aren’t that watery mess or really oil based.
Cool, I will have to try some others with cookie cutters some time 🙂
My youngest daughter thinks mustache stuff is cool. She would love these cookie cutters.
I so didn’t know mustache stuff was a thing. I must be out of the loop.
I love that there are so many different shaped cutters around now days when I was a little girl I do not remember there being so many
There is a ton. I think I have a bucket of over 100 of them.
If I was still in the classroom, I would definitely make some ‘stouche cookies for students since they seem to be obsessed!
It must be a teen thing. So weird lol.
my favorite is snickerdoodles
