Hedgehog cookie cutter with embossing

The hedgehog cookie cutter with internal embossing brings an autumnal forest atmosphere to your biscuit plate. The cute motif made of robust stainless steel draws the typical spikes and facial details directly into the dough and turns every biscuit into a small work of art. The mould is suitable for classic butter biscuits, Milanese biscuits, gingerbread and spitzbuben as well as for fondant, marzipan and flower paste. The hedgehog cookie cutter is particularly popular for autumn cookies, children's birthday parties with a forest theme, Thanksgiving celebrations and as a motif decoration for autumn cakes. The cookie cutter can also be used for aperitifs and autumn brunches. Cheese slices, sausage leaves or puff pastry flakes can be turned into lovely hedgehog snacks that add an autumnal touch to aperitif platters and children's plates. Work with baker's starch instead of flour when dusting the work surface and the mould. The fine starch glides better, absorbs less moisture from the dough and leaves no visible marks when baking. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 0.5 cm, cut out the hedgehogs and carefully lift the designs onto the baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven until golden brown, temperature and baking time according to the recipe. Two things are crucial when working with embossing. Roll out the dough evenly, because if it is too thick, the embossing will be flat and if it is too thin, the motif will be brittle. If the dough sticks when you cut it out, it is too warm and needs to be cooled briefly. Kneaded dough requires cold butter. Once cooled, decorate the hedgehogs with royal icing in warm shades of brown. The embossing serves as a perfect guide for the lines of the spikes with the cornet. Two small sugar pearls as eyes and a black nose make the hedgehog particularly lively. The stainless steel cutter is dishwasher-safe and will last a long time. A loving helper for autumnal baking fun.
