cookie cutter
Baking shape tool
A cookie cutter is a metal or plastic shape pressed into rolled dough to cut uniform cookies.
The figurative sense dominates: cookie-cutter describes things that are identical, mass-produced, or lacking individuality: cookie-cutter suburban houses, a cookie-cutter approach to education.
The implication is usually negative—standardized at the expense of character or creativity.
