Mini cookie cutter boots

Mini cookie cutter boots

Add winter charm to your biscuits, cakes and aperitif pastries with the mini boot-shaped cookie cutter. The 1.5 cm stainless steel boot is perfect for intricate decorations for Santa Claus, Christmas and winter. The shape is particularly suitable for biscuits, where the small boot appears as a cut-out in the top cookie. The motif also looks lovely and atmospheric as a topper on cupcakes, cake pops, muffins or Advent cakes. Fondant, marzipan and flower paste can be cut out just as easily as classic butter biscuit, Mailänderli or gingerbread dough. The mini cutter is a charming detail for Advent aperitifs, the Santa Claus table and festive buffets. Small boots are created from slices of cheese, carrots or cucumber to add a festive touch to aperitif platters and Christmas buffets. Use baker's starch instead of flour when dusting the work surface and 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 and quickly cut out the boots. Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven until golden brown, temperature and baking time according to the recipe. A few points will help ensure success. If the dough sticks when you cut it out, it is usually too warm; a quarter of an hour in the fridge will help. Do not roll out the dough too thinly, otherwise narrow contours will break when you turn it over. Cold butter is a must for kneading dough, it holds the structure together. Once the boots have cooled, decorate them with royal icing in red, white or gold. The top edge can be decorated with fine icing to create a fur ruff. The mini cookie cutter made of stainless steel is dishwasher-safe and will accompany you for many winter seasons. A little helper that conjures up a festive atmosphere on every baked good.
