Half moon cookie cutter with face

The half-moon cookie cutter with a friendly smiling face brings a touch of magic to the bakery. The 6 cm cutter made from robust stainless steel transforms dough, fondant and marzipan into lovely moon motifs that will brighten up any plate of biscuits. The cutter is suitable for classic butter biscuits, Milanese biscuits, gingerbread and spiced biscuits as well as for fondant, marzipan and flower paste. The crescent moon looks particularly beautiful as a motif for Advent cookies, starry sky cake decorations, bedtime cookies for children or as a topper on cupcakes and muffins. The cutter is also an enrichment for aperitifs and festive buffets. Cheese slices, sausage leaves or puff pastry flakes are transformed into atmospheric moon bites that are perfect for night-time celebrations, star parties or festive sandwich platters. It is best to dust the work surface and mould with baker's starch instead of flour. Baker's starch is much finer, reliably prevents sticking and remains invisible after baking. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 0.5 cm and cut out the moons. Carefully lift the motifs onto the baking tray lined with baking paper and bake the biscuits in the preheated oven until golden brown, temperature and baking time according to the recipe. A few basic rules are worth following to ensure successful results. Dough that sticks to the tin needs to be left to cool. If it is rolled out too thinly, the design will break; if it is too thick, the silhouette will look spongy. And another classic: Kneaded dough requires cold butter, never soft butter. After cooling, decorate the moons with royal icing in gold, silver or white. The smiling face can be gently outlined with fine cornet. Edible glitter and small sugar pearls as stars add a magical finishing touch to the motif. The stainless steel cutter is dishwasher-safe and will accompany you for many seasons. A magical helper for atmospheric baking moments.
