10 THINGS TO DO WITH FALL COOKIE CUTTERS . . . besides made cookies

So many cookie cutters, so little motivation to make fall sugar cookies! So, here's what I'm doing instead . . . 

1.     Cut out Jigglers – leaf shaped gelatin shapes

To make your own Cranberry Jigglers: Pour 1 cup cold cranberry juice in a bowl and add 4 (1/4 oz.) envelopes of plain gelatin (such 

as Knox®) and leave for a minute. Bring 3 cups of juice to boil in a pan and pour over the other juice and gelatin in the bowl.  Use a whisk to stir briskly until all the gelatin is dissolved. Spray a 9”x13” pan with cooking spray; pour gelatin mixture in pan. Refrigerate for 

a few hours until completely set. Use cookie cutters to cut gelatin.

2.     Make cinnamon toast.

3.     Use them to cut tea sandwiches.

4.     Top salads or soups with mini leaf-shaped croutons.

5.     Make pie crust cut-outs.

6.     Hang them in your kitchen.

name tags identify each dish.
