Your Family Will Love These Mug Hug Cookie Cutters And They're Only $12

Baking cookies is a popular family tradition during the holidays and a joyous activity for bakers of all ages—and we've got you covered. Here's the only sugar cookie recipe you'll need. We've also rounded up the best cookie cutters to make memorable treats you'll be proud to bring to holiday parties and send as gifts to friends.

Most cookie cutters are affordable and come in sets with various shapes. Or, snag a single-shaped cookie cutter to make a batch of uniform cookies (think all nine reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh!). There are also unexpected cookie cutters out there if you really want to surprise your family this year, like leg lamps (fans of A Christmas Story will know!), Star Wars, and cocktail glass cookie cutters. Once you decide on the perfect shape, bake and cool your cookies, we've got you set with an icing recipe for the decorations.

Whether you're adding cookie cutters to your cart for yourself, or as an early Christmas gift for the baker in your life, they're an affordable buy that make your holiday baking traditions special. Plus, if you buy now, you'll have the cookie cutters before the season even starts, letting you start baking as soon as you can. Get rolling that dough, pop those sweet treats in the oven and enjoy the time and creativity decorating your festive dessert.
