pastry cutters

Cookie outline tools

Pastry cutters are handheld kitchen tools for cutting dough into shapes.

The term covers two distinct implements: metal rings or shaped stamps pressed into rolled dough to cut cookies, biscuits, or decorative pieces; and wire or blade devices drawn through flour and fat to create a crumbly mixture for pie crust.

Context usually clarifies which is meant: She used heart-shaped pastry cutters for Valentine's cookies; Work the butter in with pastry cutters until it resembles coarse crumbs.
