This cookie cutter set is perfect for New Year's celebrations and sixtieth birthday celebrations. These small cookie cutters are easy to use in cookie tins, and when placed as decorative cookies in osechi (New Year's dishes), they will transform your osechi into a gorgeous feast♪ ▶︎Japanese Clouds The stamp is designed to fit along the outer frame of the Japanese clouds so that it can be pressed in a fixed position. ▶︎Gourd We paid close attention to the silhouette of the gourd and added mizuhiki (decorative cords) to make it suitable for New Year's celebrations. The stamp is designed to fit along the outer frame of the gourd so that it can be pressed in the center. ▶︎Folding Fan The ribs of the folding fan (the midrib and the pivot) were designed with fewer lines because too many would not transfer well to the cookie dough. The fan's pattern features a design of mist, perfect for New Year's. ▶︎Longevity (Kotobuki) While the old kanji character 壽 (kotobuki) is often used on special occasions, we used the kanji 【寿】 (kotobuki) to make it easier to transfer to the cookie dough and to improve readability. The design is in a brush-stroke style to enhance the auspiciousness and Japanese impression. If you only use the stamps, you can combine them with existing cookie cutters in many ways. ☆Tips for making cookies well!! • Using a dusting of flour when using the stamps will help the dough and the stamp separate easily. • Cutting out the shapes and stamping when the dough is well chilled will result in a clean transfer of the shape and pattern. • To prevent the dough from puffing up too much, use only egg yolks and mix them without incorporating air. • We recommend a cookie dough thickness of 5mm. • Using a Silpat will prevent the shape from collapsing and result in a crispy finish.
