I agree! It would be so much fun to make for a kid's Halloween party. I'm sending the recipe to an aunt who still has youngeters at home and is planning a monster mash

You can make black cats too, just use pretzels, breaking out the a little of the center so it becomes the arch in the cats back and decorate with black icing.

That's clever Texasgirl! In the past I've bought and used those yummy black licorice gummy (or rather pleasantly chewy) "penny candy" cats as decorations on Halloween treats.

Me too! All these upcoming holidays make me wish I had some cookie cutters! I looked for them when we lived in Dublin but did not find any and our little town certainly does not carry them. I refuse to believe that there are non sold in stores in Ireland!!! Just have to keep my eyes peeled or call up my mom (who has a massive cookie cutter collection) and ask her to send me a few

I don't have that many myself. I never can find them when I want them. I wish that I had my moms, she had a bunch too. I don't know who ended up with them, probably my older sister. She USED to cook all the time )

Here are two excellent websites for buying cookie cutters. I'm always amazed at their selections!

The second one has a store that's about 1.5 hours from where I live. Luckily they have really limited hours and I've never been there--I could easily break the bank at a place like that!

Thanks PA!! Now maybe I can get all that I want before I get grandkids, that will be a LOOOOONG time yet, hopefully!!

That is soooo helpful, thank-you PA!!! LOL, I totally and completely know what you mean, just about any decent kitchenware shop could clean me out in a flash!

In days of yore (lol), I used to have a big ghost shaped cookie cutter that I used to cut out sandwiches with from white bread - they were so cute!
