My great aunt gave me a complete set of cookie cutters in the 1970s when I started my own family. We have made and decorated cookies ever since. So much fun as the children and I decorated especially the Christmas set. They are stored in the original boxes with the original recipe between uses. I live on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia now, with a small population so they now delight a whole new generation with holiday cookies. We do pot luck dinners for Halloween and Christmas especially and they love them.
