The big new idea in baking: cookie transformations-- using a few cookie cutters and a twist of the wrist to create 100 totally unique and fun cookie designs!

You Can't Judge a Cookie by Its Cutter: Make More Than 100 Cookie Designs with Only a Handful of Cookie Cutters

Dubbed "the most creative baker I know" by Ina Garten, cookie expert Patti Paige reveals the secrets behind her famous decorating techniques and dough recipes. Known for her irresistibly playful cookie designs, Patti shows how, with a change of perspective and her decorating tips, a single cookie cutter is the only tool you need to make a Chick that will transform, into French Fries, a Hen, and a Dog!

A pumpkin-shaped cookie morphs into a bunch of bananas or into George Washington's profile; a tea cup into a stork or graduation cap; a ghost into a cat; a football helmet into a bird on a nest or an elephant; a gift box into a spider; or Santa into a turkey , and much more. Plus, Patti shares her seven favorite cookie dough recipes from classic vanilla sugar cookies to vegan gingerbread, and all the tools, tips, techniques and resources needed to create your own transformations in the kitchen - even how to make your own cookie cutters.

"What I love about Patti is how she thinks outside the box. She is a true pioneer in cookie artistry!"

--Amanda Rettke, author of Surprise Inside Cakes

Patti is a supernatural cookie artist. And her book, You Can't Judge a Cookie by Its Cutter, is not only a great inspiration to all aspiring cookie decorators; it gives great hope to cookie cutter hoarders (ourselves included) everywhere. Do yourself a favor and unearth that barely used chick-shaped cookie cutter. Patti is going to show you how it can become a bag of fries, a dog's head, a hen . . . and a beautiful, gorgeous chick!

"Cute, creative, and incredibly inspiring, You Can't Judge A Cookie By It's Cutter shows you how to think beyond predetermined shapes and decorate cookies you really want to make."

--Angie Dudley, author of the New York Times bestselling Cake Pops

"Patti's cookies are chic, clever, and most important, crumb-licking delicious. Nobody does custom creations like her!"

Good tips but missing lots of photos!

ByEBon December 19, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The author is an incredible talented cookie artist. This book has lots of basic information for beginners.
On the other hand I was disappointed on how she describes the process of making the cookies, for example: bake, colour icing, outline and so on... I would have loved to see photos of the decorating process and more information on the process of designing cookies.

I was happy to see her face as she glanced through it

Byscott Siegelon February 22, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

When you look at cookie cutters you sometimes wonder what else it could be, other than what it says on the sign on the rack. This book truly helps you out and makes things easier.
As I bought this for my wife, I was happy to see her face as she glanced through it.

I am so excited to recieve this book in the mail today. The book is a must have. I am really impressed with the directions and the lesson learned from the examples. Very good book for the average person just wanting to learn how to be a weekend cookie maker or the professional. I might just get three more for Christmas gifts.
Love this book its a keeper

One cookie cutter many ways to use it

ByJ. Dunnetton July 14, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I felt all the info at the beginning of the book was not necessary but anyone who can think of 4 different ways to use one cookie cutter is a genius. I'm having a hard time thinking of different ways of using mine. I'm sorry I don't have the same cutters Patti Paige does so that I can just steal her ideas instead of trying to come up with my own. She has definitely given me the inspiration to push my imagination further than I thought it could ever go.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I've been following Patti Paige's decorated cookie articles since the late 80's. This book contains all of her many years of knowledge, tips & tricks. I would recommend this concise and easy format book for any skill level if you want to do more with the cookie cutters that you have, you want to make your own cookie cutters, and or you love decorating cookies.

Don't Bother with this Book...

ByJulie Zambranoon February 1, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Disappointed. This book was published 2014...and there is more text than photos. I am new to cookies and really thought this would be a great start.

Thank goodness I found "Biscuiteers Book of Iced Cookies" by Harriet Hastings & Sarah Moore...every page has photos...so informative. This book was published in 2010...and it's worth ever penny!

A bit disappointed, no photos of the decorating process. Photos of the decorating process would be more helpful, then the lengthy directions by themselves.
