Step 1
Decide what kind of cookie cutter you want. There are plastic cookie cutters, metal cookie cutters, outline cookie cutters, detailed cookie cutters and there are cookie cutters with handles. You also have a lot of different sizes and shapes to choose from.
-
Step 2
Determine how much money you are willing to spend. Individual cutters usually aren't very expensive, but if you want to buy a lot of them the cost can add up.
-
Step 3
Consider how much work you want to put into decorating the cookie. While the outline shapes are easy to cut and bake, they often require frosting and decorations to make them look pretty. On the other hand, detailed cutters give the complete shape and interior details, but the dough is more difficult to separate from the cutter.

Step 4
Go to a store that carries kitchen items. There will usually be a section for cookie cutters. The closer it is to the Christmas season the easier it will be to find this theme. You can also search websites like eBay. You may be able to find them year round and, if you're lucky, save a little money.
