Ann Clark Review & Giveaway

We have a winner - click here to find out who!


Hello moms & kids everywhere! I have the perfect cookie baking, playdo playing, playing house holiday gift for you!  The Ann Clark's family has been handcrafting cookie cutters in Vermont since 1990.  With the high quality and customer service they are known for Ann Clark has become known as THE #1 cookie cutter manufacturer in America!  Each of their individual cookie cutters are individually designed by Ann herself and the accompanying hand drawn recipe cards that come with each cookie cutter are too.


Here's a quick explanation of what the process entails:
"In the beautiful foothills of the Green Mountains, all Ann Clark, Ltd. cookie cutters are handcrafted out of tin-coated steel or copper. Strips of metal are first cut to length according to each specific cookie cutter design, and then made into rings. These rings are then molded into the correct shape using a manually-operated forming process. Finally, sturdy handles are attached, and recipe cards, hand tied with a piece of kitchen twine, add the finishing touch."








Ann Clark sent me 4 darling cookie cutters to review and they are wonderful.  Each is a little bigger than my palm, contains a handle and a great recipe too.  I loved the handle because when you are making sugar cookies or even those cinnamon ornaments I always have the hardest time because the cutter will get stuck and then you have to play with the cutter to get it unstuck - then I end up with deformed santas, bunnies, christmas trees - it's very annoying!


They have many different themes of cookie cutters - everything from holidays (christmas, hanukkah, easter, etc) sports & hobbies, animals, more contemporary cutters - states, flies, crowns, diva shoe, freedom flags, the breast cancer ribbon and more.
