Anyone have experience w/these? Any tips to pass on?

Maybe you meant a cookie mold so it has a 3d design on them ?

No, I actually saw 3D cookie cutters on another site. Most the "cookies" come with three or four cutters. You cut each piece, bake them, the put them together. They reminded me of those balsa wood cut-out sculpters. (KWIM?) Looked really cute but am wondering about how they actually bake and about decorating them.

I saw those too - near christmas time. I want to try the reindeer one this year!

Hi! 3-D cookie is very popular in my area right now. Kids love it and adults adore them. 3-D cookie is very time consuming than a flat single decorated cookie, which is why I charge twice than a regular decorated cookie.

You can find the cookie cutters by Google it, but I'm happy to give you some links below. I haven't shop these stores listed below yet. Most price range is at least $15 and up for each one. Some of you never see one before, so I thought I attached two photos for you to check it out.

I have the reindeer cutter set and I love it. The cookies didn't take long to decorate because I only dipped the antlers in white chocolate, then piped on eyes and minimal decoration with chocolate and used white chocolate as glue to put the pieces together with. The white chocolate set up so quickly that assembly didn't really take all that long to do. I made quite a few and gave them out to our cake club, friends, etc. I put them in plastic cookie bags that had a gussetted bottom and tied them with a bow.

Do you have any problems with the notches baking shut? For example, when I bake little gift tag cookies and put a hole in them with a straw where I thread the ribbon, the hole nearly bakes shut and so I have to "recut" the hole with the straw when they come out of the oven. Maybe I need to try a recipe that doesn't raise so much?!?

If the slots bake a little bit shut, trim them a bit with a small sharp knife. I had to trim a few of mine, but mostly they did fine. I made gingerbread with a boxed mix. Use a cookie dough that doesn't spread much, like gingerbread or Wilton's roll-out cookie dough.

I was on the 3D cutters website a day or so ago, and I saw they have a turkey and a bunny rabbit cookie cutter kit that I wouldn't mind having.
