Woodland animal & bird cookie cutters
There are 37 products.
Fox, deer and squirrel, owl, sparrow and swan: our woodland animal and bird cookie cutters bring the forest to your cookie plate. The range goes from a sitting fox or an embossed fox to a leaping stag, stags in several sizes, a deer and a fawn, through to a wolf, bear, teddy bear and hedgehog. For birds you will find owls in several designs, the mummy and baby owl set, a sparrow, a swan, a set of three doves and a mini bird cutter. There are also rabbits, from the Easter bunny and bunny heads to a sitting mini rabbit.
Many shapes are made of stainless steel, some of them embossed as well, others of plastic with an ejector and embossing: you cut, press the plunger, and the eyes, fur or feathers are already printed into the dough.
Ideas and tips for woodland cookies
- Autumn: fox, hedgehog, owl and the squirrel with acorn go perfectly with hazelnut and cinnamon cookies or as decoration on an autumn cake.
- Children's birthdays: the bear, teddy bear and mini cutters suit a woodland party and are easy for children to use. The mummy and baby owl set is designed for fondant and adds little owls to the birthday cake.
- Crisp embossing: dust the dough and cutter lightly with flour or cornflour and press the ejector firmly once or twice.
- Chill the cut-out cookies briefly before baking so the outlines do not spread in the oven.
Frequently asked questions about woodland animal cutters
Which woodland animals suit Christmas cookies?
Stags, deer and fawns are classic motifs for Christmas cookies and gingerbread. Dusted with icing sugar or decorated with white icing, they look as if they came straight from a snowy forest.
Which dough keeps the embossing of fox, owl and deer?
A firm butter shortcrust with little or no raising agent, worked well chilled and rolled to about 0.5 cm, gives the best results. The embossing cutters also work with fondant and marzipan, for example for cupcakes and cakes.
