Bb 8 Cookie Cutter

Of all the droids in Star Wars, the little rolling one from the sequel films is the easiest to reduce to a single outline: a sphere with a dome perched on top, instantly readable even at biscuit size. That profile is what this cutter presses into rolled dough. Character cutters like this earn their money at birthday parties, where a tray of themed biscuits does more work than any amount of shop-bought decoration. The shape is simple enough that a young helper can press them out without much supervision, and it suits gingerbread, shortbread and sugar cookies equally. The same outline is just as useful away from baking, in salt dough decorations, air-dry clay, fondant or play dough on a wet afternoon. One file, and one of those prints that comes back out of the drawer every year.
