[Sca-cooks] Cookie Cutters

[Stefan li Rous]

Euriol asked:
<<< I have a lady in my shire who is interested in learning of any  
evidence in the use of cookie cutters within our time period. This is  
not an area I've researched.? If anyone can point me to some sources,  
I could share with her, it would be most appreciated.>>>

How inclusive does she define "cookie cutter"?

What about molds for cookies? There are a number of period recipes for  
molded cookies. But I don't think they were meant to completely cut  
out the cookie from a sheet of dough.
