Does anyone know where I can get a 3.5" square cookie cutter. The only ones I've been able to find are nesting sets and the biggest is 2.75". I have to do 100 square cookies with a company logo on them this December and I need to find the cutter before then. Any substitutions for a cutter this size would be great, too. I don't really want to hand cut 100 of these. Thanks a bunch. |

You may have to make your own. There's a 3" one on E-bay. |

Try coppergifts.com, and enter "square cookie cutter". They offer several options. |

If you can't find a 3.5" square you can always buy a 4.5" round cutter, and bend it into a square. (Be careful not to pop the spot welds though.) A 3.5" square cutter has a perimeter of 14", a 4.5" round cutter has a perimeter of about 14.13" (2 x pi x r) which I would think would be close enough. Good luck. |

Try FancyFlours.com. I just received their catalogue and they have a rectangle cutter that measures approx. 3x4.5. They have over 1000 cutters. I love this website. Hope this helps... |

Try a tupperware dish. When in a pinch we have had to do that before. Last week we had an order for 40 dozen cookies shaped like footballs. We only had a small football cutter and they wanted jumbo. My husband found a tupperware dish in the back of our cabinet and it worked perfect. |

OK, so I admit I am not much of a cookie baker but if it is a rolled-out dough, why couldn't you use a straight edge ruler and a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares?  |

Yes, that's plan B. I just wanted to avoid the measuring and just stamp them out quickly. That way I'd make sure they were all uniform and that I had right angles. Right now I think I'm heading that way unless I can find a good Tupperware container (thanks for the suggestion tyandton). All of mine have rolled edges which won't cut right. I'll check the stores this week for one with a sharper edge. |

Ok, i know this is a little more expensive then a cookie cutter but i think that it is worth its money and you might be able to find it a little less expensive some where else.

You will what ever size cookies you want? up to 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 and all the way down to 3/4 by 3/4 of an inch |

I've been looking for one of these for years! Isn't it funny that it is the most basic shape and it is so hard to find. Try Ateco products (do a google on it). They have a lot of sets and they may have one. I have been using a template for the longest time and just haven't gotten around to searching for one recently. I'll check out the links posted. Let us know if you find one. |

I couldn't find any large ones except for Copper gifts. That's where you have to order a custom one. The price is not that bad $14 for a 4 inch (not like the $85 ones I did see from a couple of the links!). The shipping is what is going to really add it up. Maybe you should just do a little more shopping to justify the shipping cost! That's what I would do (my poor hubby!). Anyone else out there find a link for Robinscakes (and for me too!) |
