3 generations of cookie cutters plus one extra.

These are from my Grandma D 's house, and were probably made in the 1920’s or possibly even earlier. I may be cheating here because I think that although when we were growing up, my brothers and sister and I used these to make cookies, Grandma was probably using them for cutting out biscuits. Both she and my Grandpa D were raised on farms and in those days, biscuits appeared at most meals.

These are some cookie cutters from my own Mother's collection in the 1940’s. With her family of 5 children, she was constantly turning out cookies to serve as snacks and desserts. Now, except for the delectable Vanilla Wafers, which Grandma B always kept in her kitchen cabinet for treats for her grandchildren, I didn't realize that cookies could be found in boxes which could be purchased at a store. Mother organized my brothers and sister and me in a cookie making assembly line, with Mother and my older brother doing the hot parts and the rest of us rolling out cookie dough and using these cookie cutters to cut out cookies. We slid them onto baking sheets for Billy and Mother to slide in and out of the oven. As I got a little older, I was tapped to frost the hot cookies straight out of the oven and when I proved myself competent at this job, I was eventually trusted to do the hot oven part too. I became so good at the hot part that one year my Grandma and Grandpa B gave me a cookie sheet for my birthday.

We children always wanted to use these circus cookie cutters (from the 1930’s or 1940’s) because they contained lines that made them look almost like cartoons. But whenever we attempted to use them, we were doomed to disappointment because as the cookies baked, they swelled and all the little details disappeared.

These are some of the cookie cutters I have added to the stash. (Counting all 3 generations together, I now have around 100.) I have now limited my cookie making days to doughs that I can apply to the cookie sheet with a spoon. It isn't the rolling out or the cutting out that I don't enjoy, it is the cleanup. Somehow I seem to get flour EVERYwhere. But the good news is that these cookie cutters work really really well when my grandchildren and I are playing with playdough.

This is the one that is the ringer. I brought it into our family collection when I was 9 or 10.

A friend and neighbor was a lawyer. One afternoon, he had to appear in court and his secretary called in sick. His wife was stuck at home with 2 toddlers, so they called to ask me if I would sit in his office to answer his phone. All I had to do, they said, was answer the phone and take a message, which I did. When our friend returned from the courthouse, he tried to pay me and I scoffed at him and said that this was just a favor to a friend and no money was necessary. I must have been pretty adamant because for weeks he amused himself by offering to pay me. That year I found this cookie cutter under the Christmas tree with the note "When it comes to emergencies, you're just the cookie!"

I learned that this cookie cutter came from his Great Grandmother's kitchen. They told me that they thought that it was about 100 years old. That was in the 1950's so you can do the math.
