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

My aunt brought these wonderful cookies to us when I was around 10 years old [ I am now 69 years old] When I was 12 my mother finally got a set of Aunt Chick's cookie cutters. We had these cookies all of my years at home. When I started my own family I was living in Norfolk and there were no cutters so I made a cardboard pattern and cut them out by hand. My husband was in the Navy at that time. When we came home I got a set of cookie cutters and started making cookies. Over the years my children have grown up and they all have a set of cookie cutters and now I have Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren that have all been introduced to Santa Cookies along with so many kids that have come and gone in my life. It has brought so much joy to me and to all I have been lucky enough to share them with.

In Santa Ana, CA., during the 1950's our mother purchased the Aunt Chicks Christmas Cookie Set at the famous upscale hardware store, Clark Dye's. She had especially fallen in love with the Santa face and had visions of just how to decorate him. Well, that purchase changed our Christmases for years to come. After baking, our Santa's beards and "fluff ball" where swirled with lush seven-minute icing laced with cream of tartar to make him last. We would dilute red food coloring to swab with Q-tips his hat; and while still wet, we would load on red sanding sugar and knock off the excess. His eyes were tiny pieces of raisins, with an application technique that only Mom had mastered. For his checks and nose, we would dilute the food colored water even more, and lightly swab with a finesse that would instantly bring Santa to life. When completely dry, Santa would be encased in a perfectly sized cellophane bag, topped off with a generously cute satin bow. He was gifted to everyone, and even tied on wrapped packages. Oh, how we loved him!

We also got the brainstorm to purchase the Halloween set of Aunt Chick's and make our own wonderful Trick-or-Treat wrapped Pumpkin cookies. (Those were the days when you could bake treats.)
My, were they ever glamorous with their glistening orange sanding sugar! The pumpkins looked marvelous in the cellophane bags tied with orange satin ribbons...One year, I think we switched to black ribbons when black became fashionable.

My sister and I have tried to keep the Aunt Chick legacy alive with our three daughters, and now granddaughters. Thank you Gramma's Cutters for helping us to do just that! Thank you for your wonderful website. We hope your legacy stays alive for generations to come.

My mother bought these cookie cutters I am quite sure before I was born. I am the youngest of five and my mother is now 80. In the cold winters of Central New York State, The box which held these was one of my favoriate toys to play with while she baked during the holiday season. My mom gave cookies as gifts during the holidays to friends and church members who were elderly or shut-in. I remember sitting on the floor of the kitchen playing with these cutters and reaching for the colorful box which they came in. As I became older I was the one decorating after mom completed the oven duty.

When I started to have children, my mother gave the cutters to me and my son now has the box as one of his decorations for the kitchen during the holidays and asks for santa cookies with the coconut beards as his favoriate every year. This year he will do more baking than I and we are continuing my mom's tradition of baking together in the kitchen and giving the cookies as gifts to friends and the elderly in our church.

I am ordering a new set this year, just for back up! Hey, maybe the best gift one of my girlfriends might get this year.

What a great gift we give each other from this simple thing...My thanks to Aunt Chick and her ideas and devotion. My thanks as well to the people who have kept this site and product available. Thank you...

I was born and raised in Illinois. Now I have brought these cookies to California! My mother made these every year until she lost her eyesite. Now my niece and I make them every year. Whenever I give them to anyone or my husband takes them to his office, everyone loves them! These Santas are the cutest ever! I am so happy I found this site because this year my cutter, which was my mother's and older than I am, cracked. *sniff* I just ordered two more! Its not Christmas without these Santa Claus cookies! Thanks Aunt Chick! Happy Holidays!

During the 50s, my mom would sew and bake and have a "Christmas Sale" for friends and neighbors. The most popular item, of course,was the Santa cookies which we took orders for to be delivered on Christmas Eve---my birthday!! I remember many years of staying up way past midnight on the 23rd as we decorated the Santas and it became our family tradition that as soon as midnight came we would take a break and I would get to open one Birthday present. Some years ago I ordered Aunt Chicks Christmas Cutters for my 2 daughters and son and now they and their children carry on the Santa making tradition!

I can remember at a very young age sitting up all night decorating these cookies with my Aunt.
They always came out beautiful. Once I made the mistake of coloring the snowman's eyes red she informed me that her snowman aren't drunk so I never made that mistake again. They'll always be blue in my house. I have had my cookies cutter for 35 years so glad you have a web site.
Happy Holiday

As a child ,my mother made christmas cut out cookies,which we loved to decorate.We had the orginal "Aunt Chicks cookie cutters which I still have and use.
My sister in law wanted a Santa cookie cutter, and I knew I had one but wanted to get her one. I saw an add for Aunt Chicks cutters and was surprised to see I could order some, just like my mother had. We love your web site . Keep up the great work.

My mother sent for the "fat" face and "skinny" face Santa cutters in 1961. She found them for sale from a Doublemint Chewing Gun wrapper and 5 cents. She received with the cutters the hand written instructions from a "very southern" lady and I still have that letter. My mom made them every year for all us kids and her grandkids. She made them until 1994 when she had to go into a nursing home. I, being the oldest daughter took over the tradition and I'm proud to say that mine look "almost" as good as hers. Everything on the cookie is decorated per the southern lady's instructions. My children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren are still enjoying my dear mom's tradition.
Thank you for still making these cutters available. Marlene

Oh, I have lots of memories making cookies at Christmastime using these cookie cutters back in the 50s & 60s when I was growing up in Illinois.
I think what I remember the most about them is when a friend of my mother's took some cake decorating lessons and went into business, and one of her biggest sellers were the Santa cookies that she made, and oh, how she decorated them! They were solid frosting with appropriate colors and textures, and they tasted so good!
They were masterpieces - each one of them! They couldn't have been made with any other type of cookie cutters but Aunt Chicks, because of the 3-dimensional effect.
I've had these cookie cutters all these years up until just recently when they got lost in a move, and have been very upset about it.
I'm so glad to have found this website and to see that they are accessible once again!
