When I got the order for an edible favor for a little girls first birthday party the ideas started flying through my head. Then the client asked for a number one cookie and I immediately thought of the traditional candle. (image found here)

I searched every where for a four inch number one cookie cutter. The best I could find was three inch but that just seemed too small.

So that is when I decided to create my own. I sketched out the image onto a piece of heavy card stock, cut it out, laid it on top of rolled out cookie dough and then traced around it with my paring knife.

This was time consuming and not as perfect as the traditional cookie cutter but I did accomplish the look I was going for! This technique really opens up the possibilities of shaped sugar cookies...
