My Williams-Sonoma Cookie Cutter Review~


I like it..It works..:)Very happy I picked one up~Thanks to Kathleen~
She was so nice to think of me and send me a head's up while I was in the US..

Toronto has W-S..but not QC.. many stores halt at the border~ Too bad!!
It's not made like our Brigittes.. they are plastic.. not stainless..

But they work well..the cookies are large:) Large enough to make decorations too..
And were fun to use..
I used Ina's shortbread recipe..as I made a whole batch of her dough and made 3 kinds of cookies..
These made me smile:)

Press hard.. I transfered my cookie cutter to my Silpat w/ a spatula underneath..then pressed the plunger quite hard on the Silpat..If you do not press hard enough..the letters will not show..



Have Fun!



It's a Thumbs Up For Me~And I see for many others too..Great Christmas product.. Cheers to W-S..

I saw the most beautiful pastry board there.. Oh lala.. all wood..w/ the pie crust shapes etc.. cute little pie molds.. It's just a fun extravagant store..Kathleen has an outlet and finds the best occasions~ Unbelievable occasions..

I have little pots..mini mini tureens Jain sent me.. like the French Onion Soup bowls but "Petits"..My Jana Pâté fits perfectly for ind. servings..I love them..

I saw a French dish set that reminded me of Provence and La Ferme De La Huppe..red and white..Beau beau beau..But.. I was very good..
Sadly:)

  2. I love Williams Sonoma too -- and gasp at the La Corneu stove everytime I go (it is almost as big as my kitchen -- and cost about the same as my house!) -- sigh -- it's never meant to be at Linderhof!

    Glad to hear your review of the cutters -- they are a fun Christmas item! I have a Brigette and love that one!

  3. I have to stay out of there M...
    it is a dangerous place for me...
    I love to go there the day after Christmas with all my gift money and have a blast when everything is on sale....
    Every year I do that...
    I guess I need the cutter....I was resisting....:)
    Your cookies are magical!
    Oh and the little tiny tureens...I just love those...
    I am craving some mini cocottes with covers....maybe Santa will bring me some!

  5. What can I say...I couldn't resist these cookie cutters. I made Ina's recipe and will cut them out in the morning. And many thanks for the tip about getting the lettering to show up well.

  7. I agree! Much easier than Brigette for me..But large!!
    And you are welcome..you know I love to share the bargain alerts! It makes me feel good not to pay 20 dollars and get them for less than $8.
    I see Cathy said she got them..I am sending Susan and Debbie one, I was going to surprise Cathy! Oh well, another time!

    Yours look wonderful..I knew they would.
    I made a double batch of Ina's shortbread dough and made cookies..but smaller. There will be so many at the party tomorrow I thought smaller would be better..Still cute! And more to go around..:)

  9. Hi Sweetie,
    I just popped over from Fifi's blog where I read your French comment to the Princess ;)

    Gee, those cookies are darling with Love Nana XX on them and look delicious too. I'm off to read some of your past posts too. I see you mentioned the US so guess the cat's out of the bag and it's now ok to mention toi?

  11. This week end is cookie baking week end. I can hardly wait....narrowing down the choices is the problem. I like the idea of Ina's shortbread..I will get to try out my Brigitte!

  13. Monique, thanks for this review. I had read on the WS site that some people had had problems with them, but I wondered at that time if they were just using the wrong cookie dough. Your post has convinced me that I was right...

    THANK YOU!

  16. I was in the store in San Francisco last month, a very dangerous place indeed.

  17. In a way perhaps it is good I live so far away!..Kate I had read the reviews also.. and was reminded of the difficulties some had with Brigitte..I see so many beautiful ones w/ this cutter that I am convinced it is a matter of using the right dough.. the transfering and pressing firmly..Have fun everyone..
    And have a great weekend~

  26. I will have to go back and check these cookie cutters out. I tend to make myself go home and think before I buy. Still doesn't stop me from having a ton of stuff!
