Find Peace with Piecing Together Cookies!

I own hundreds of cookie cutters. Like well over 600. Even though I continue to purchase new cutters all the time, I still find myself needing to piece together (or "Frankencookie") cut cookie dough shapes to create the look I want. It can be stressful making a collection of cookies- enough to make me want a spa day!

And wouldn't you know it- this Spa Day collection has two Frankencookie pieces. Don't afraid to piece together those cookie shapes! I have a secret to make them fit together perfectly!

Some of my favorite cutters are this set of concentric smooth and scalloped circles. I used them to make this trio of bubbles.  

Take a look at what I discovered when piecing together the bubbles.

When I first pieced together the circles, I ended up with a gap in between the circles that may or may not have baked together smoothly.

The secret???  FLIP one of the circles over and voilà!! A perfect fit!

I have found that this FLIP concept works with other cutters too! The lipstick and lips were two different cutters. I flipped the lip and it fit snugly into the space I made in the lipstick.

So don't stress if you can't find the perfect cutter! 
Cut it, Flip it, Bake it!

Is it time for the spa yet?
