Christmas Cookie Cutters, Plastic & Metal Cookie Cutters, Cookie & Cake Decorating Supplies, Candy Making Supplies

My box of Aunt Chick's Cookie cutters is well used and falling apart, but the cutters still work beautifully. Every time I see the box it reminds me of baking with my mom and brothers Paul and David. We would make Christmas cookies and Mom would let us help decorate the tree, stocking and star. When it came to decorating Santa though, we had to be super careful. Mom always made enough for us to take to school and there would be always be one Santa cookie for each of our classmates. Now that I think of it, that is a lot of cookies to make! Mom's not here anymore, but.....what a great memory!
I have grandkids of my own now and I think I might just let them have a try at baking with Aunt Chick's Cookie Cutters.
Thanks for the great memories!

My Grandmother and Mother made the Jolly Santa cookies every year and shared them with neighbors, friends and family. When I was very small, I would stand at the kitchen table and watch my Grandmother carefully decorate the Santa's, waiting for my very own Santa. Now that my Mother and Grandmother are gone, my sisters and I have continued the tradition which is now well into 50 plus years in our family. This year I'm giving Jolly Santa cutters to my daughters, continuing on a family Christmas tradition to the fourth generation. Thank you for the lovely Christmas memories....

My grandmother always made each one of my siblings and I a santa face cookie for our stocking at Christmas. We didn't get much else in them except fruit and nuts so the cookies were very special to us. That was many years ago as I'm 69 now. When my mother died my son got the cutter; he lived in the same town
(Alpena)as my mother; and I didn't find out about it until recently. I decided to make them for an organization I belong to but am handicapped with an immobilizer brace temporarly so decided to enlist the aid of family to get the job done. with the help of two daughters-in-law, two daughters, two grandaughters and one great-grandaughter we began the task. It took one evening to make the 4 batches of dough to chill and one whole day and evening to do the baking and decorating but half way through the process the old, cracked mold with the tassle missing finally cracked in two. I thought about super gluing it to have copies made of it; we were all so bummed out over the loss of our beloved santa face. Thank goodness mt daughter-in-law kept the treasured box and I typed in Aunt Chicks cookie cutters on the computer. Now the whole family can continue to make fond memories for many more years to come. Thank you Aunt Chick and the internet and my diligent son and daughter-in-law.

Well tonight I am preparing my dough to start on my "Garden" cookies for the spring! My daughter in law to be introduced me to the world of Aunt Chicks cookie cutters and recipes last Christmas. Her mother and grandmother as a tradition would make the Santa, holly, stockings and stars every year and she talked me into doing it with her when she moved near us. We ended up making over 800 cookies and had a ball doing it. I have pictures of all the stages of the cookie making process and I am planning on making about the same amount for her wedding come June.

I would love to share my/our story with others and our pictures of my first christmas, of many to come, with Aunt Chick.

Thank you,

When I was a small girl, in the 40's, my Mom had a set of these cookie cutter. She would make the Santa's, trees, snowmen and stockings for us every year. She would paint them with coloring, and we thought they were one of the best memories about Christmas. In the 70's I found them offered in a booklet, and ordered a set for me and a replacement set for my Mom. With my children, I would make these every year. It came to the point that their school would call me to make sure that I would include a couple of extra cookies for the teachers of both of my children's classes. It turned into a 4 day event..but what fond memories. My daughter just found the web site, and again we are ordering cutters for myself and my son and daughter. The memories will continue. Thank you so much, Sandy Shepherd

I was thrilled to find your add in a magazine at my hairdresser's! I have been trying to get a lead on how to contact you --again. I contacted your family in the early 70's while living in California.

I told you the story of how my Favorite Aunt had made these cookies for my family every year since I could remember. She was a baker by profession and took great pride in decorating the cookies with patience and love! They were the family favorite back then. When I married in 1969 I wanted to continue the tradition for "my" family! I talked my mother into givng me her set--she had never used them. I don't remember how I found you back then, but I ordered a new set plus the new ones that we didn't have in our family. It quiickly became my job to provide these cookies for the entire family for the years to come. About 4 years ago the Santa and the Christmas tree developed a crack and I stopped making them in order to preserve the set. Needless to say my Grandchildren now request them every year and were disappointed when I had to quit making them--for every holiday! I'm going to surprise them at Easter with the Easter bunnies and the little flowers--They are such a hit with our friends and family at our Easter gathering! Thank you so much for making them available! FAMILY TRADIDTIONS ARE SO VERY IMPORTANT!!

Some of my very fondest Christmas memories are going to my Aunt Gen's house Christmas morning. She had a large home and everyone they knew were invited for an open house that special morning each and every year. In her dining room, large and grand, was her dining room table laden with cookies and spirits for all to enjoy. Each and every year I would truly run to her table to find the beautifully decorated "Santa Cookies" that she made. I would sit there and slowly eat just one (they were huge!).While I did I would close my eyes and actually hear Santa laughing and saying...."Have a very wonderful Christmas Anne Marie". Today my Aunt Gen is 92 years old. And, today, each and every Christmas for the last 40 years, my home is open to my friends to share in our joyous celebration that day and my table is laden with cookies for all to enjoy, and there on my very best pedestal Christmas plate are those wonderful Santa cookies that I take great joy in decorating. I smile while I paint Santa's cheeks and nose with food coloring,put the "fur" on his hat and oh so carefully pipe on his eyebrows, mustache and beard and I can hear him saying "Have a wonderful Christmas Anne Marie, and may your children and grandchildren pass on these Santa cookies each and every year!" My daughters are grown now and wonderful cooks and bakers but each year, no matter what, they ask if I've "made the Santa's yet" and I delight in my two grandchildren running in, sitting down and ever so slowly, eating "their" Santa on Christmas Day! Thank you Aunt Chick's for helping us to have this most beautiful memory. (My Aunt tells me though that the Santa cutter I now use (the one above) is NOT the one she used back then. I broke one after many years of use so I again went to Aunt Chick's to purchase the above and I think you might have modernized it.....could that be? I now see another one in a pack of two cutters......is that the old one? Please let me know because this year I would like to make my dear Aunt the old form cookie. And, of course, I want to be certain that my gorwn children have the "right" cutter to carfry on this beautiful tradition. Thanks Aunt Chick's, so much.

I could hardly contain myself when I saw a small Martha Stewart advertisement for Gramma's Cookie Cutters with a photo of the Santa cookie of my childhood. I remember my mother painstakingly (but lovingly) creating these every year. They were the hit of my father's business office. She would bake them with a hole at the top, thru which she strung a ribbon hanger, wrapped them individually in plastic wrap, and hung them on the office Christmas tree. I inherited the cutter, but Santa had a big crack across his face by then, and no glue gun could repair it. I have ordered one of the kits with several extra Santa cutters and can't wait to share them with my mom and my baking friends. Making a cookie decorating date for next December already!Ho Ho Ho!

I just purchased on ebay one of Aunt Chicks original pastry cloths and rolling pin cover.
Dated Jan.30, 1940
Unused, with envelope.
Original price $1.00
Came with green handled rolling pin of same era.
My mother-in-law used one of these cloths.

After my mother died I was the daughter that "inherited" the Aunts Chicks Jolly Christmas cookie cutters. I do not remember when my mother purchased them but it must has been in the 50's. I was surprised to find a website that had the cookie recipe so I can make them again and let my grandkids have as much fun as I did "painting" the cookies. I think my mom had just as much fun getting things ready because she had to color the egg whites, and to make our own colored sugar. We were busy all day.
