Your cookie cutters are the coolest! I’ve not seen anything by anybody else on such a thing, I say go for it!
I really need to tap into that stack of 1/4" acrylic…

Awesome cookie cutter progress. And the big holiday is only 16 days away so you have time for Yoda and company.

i’ve been making cookie molds with my CNC machine for 7 years. Couple of tips:
Stay away from cookie dough with egg in it. They cause the cookie to rise and you loose the pattern. Shortbread, Gingerbred, Springerle and Speculass (Dutch Windmill) work really well.
Cold is your friend, after pressing and cutting out put the cookies in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes and then onto a room temperature cookie shut and into a hot oven. the outside will cook and set before it has a chance to slump.

Some great advice here. Are those last three photos actual cookies? If so, that is some incredible detail! Inspires me to try it.

jthose are polymer clay impressions to show what the cookies will look like, but were made with the actual presses. Most people can’t see the celtic knots when carved in the inverse (it also acts as a marketing tool to make them nice and bright).

Do shoes get in the way of proper cookie production?

Baking while barefoot has the added perk of promptly letting you know when you drop cookie dough on the floor. Since eating raw dough is frowned upon lately, can’t have the pets or small kids finding it first.

I own some of @wanderingwood’s cookie presses. They are AMAZING. And the other designs done are also fantastic.
Also we had a chance to chat in person a week or two ago while at a festival in Ohio. 
By the way, @wanderingwood, what press do you use? just the circles or do you use a different type of hand press?

Not for cookie making, but to get a genuine hand crafted photograph you have to get some body part in the shot (finger, foot, hair…
)

I standardized on a 2.5 inch round for my stock presses, but can make any shape for custom orders.
Beautiful! Love the dragon and griffin. (And the gears. Yes, I’m weird.)

SWMBO is already concerned over my cookie consumption.
Not sure what her reaction would be when I start making cutters
