[Liz in PA]

No, not cookies FOR cairns! People cookies SHAPED like cairns! My friends know them as "Hogans"

[Lynn in TN]

[TazTalk]

Aw... and I bet you can't stop at one.

I would like to make some Dempsys. Very cute idea.

I just made star cookies for Packy and Kirby, and we've been giving them to friends with dogs, too. Wish we had a Cairn cookie cutter! What recipe did you use?

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cup flour

1 1/2 cup wheat flour

1/2 cup cornmeal (I didn't have cornmeal so I used oatmeal)

2 Tbs. Powdered Milk

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

1 Egg - slightly beaten

1 cup water, more if needed

PREPARATION:

Mix all dry ingredients. Add egg. Gradually add water while stirring. Use just enough water to form a stiff dough. Knead until smooth. Roll out 1/4" thick and cut. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Leave in oven to cool and harden for at least 5 hours.

Too cute. I'm sorry I couldn't find a dog cookie cutter for the dog treats I'm making all the office dogs!

Hopefully star treats will do, although I fear they may get mistaken for human cookies at some point

[kjwarnold]

Oh, duh! I was thinking you meant dog treats in dog shapes!

[Hawkeye]

They look scrumptious! I want that cookie cutter!! I think every cairn owners needs this - don't you?

I had this cutter DECADES before I had a cairn...was really excited when I realized what I had. I THINK it was part of a big set (more than in the ebay link above), that my mother got with Betty Crocker coupons maybe around 1970?

$30.00!

Wow! Could not believe the prices. I love making cookies and have quite a few cutters, including both a metal and green plastic (50s?) stamp-type, and also a later-day cutter. But when I make doggie biscuits, I always use my cat-shaped cookie cutter. Somehow that seems more appropriate for "dog treats."

I picked up a cairnish cookie cutter last year at Sur La Table .

[Ivy & Lucy's Mom]

I bought one from Lehmans Hardware store-an Amish store in Kidron Oh. They have a website as well.

[Ivy & Lucy's Mom]

Well, after checking the store on-line, you can't purchase the cookie cutter from online. I did find a wizard of oz toto and dorothy's shoe cookie cutters from Etsy-an online website that sells a lot of homemade and creative crafts. The cookie cutter is only $5.00.
