Creative Cutters - Globe


Adapted from SemiSweetDesigns.  

Lately I've been fascinated with the idea of piecing together cookie cutters that I already have to make brand new designs and this is a great example.  This cookie could be decorated to look like a globe, a snow globe, or even a gum ball machine. 

1) You will need a round cutter and a margarita cutter.  If you don't have a margarita cutter you can use the top of an ice cream sundae cutter. When you cut the margarita shape, do it at the edge of the rolled out dough or just cut off the part you don't need.  The dough should be cold when you assemble your globe.

2) Cut a notch in the circle piece with a small knife.  It should be about the same size as the top of the other piece.

 3) Fit the pieces together.  Pat them a little so that there is contact.  If it is not a good fit, soften some dough in your hands and fill in any cracks.  The whole thing will be covered with icing so it doesn't matter if the line shows.

4) Bake as usual.  Be sure to wait until they are completely cool before moving to the rack.  I will post pictures of decorated ones soon.
