Playful Detective Treats

Bake Desserts a New Way with the Ransom Demands Cookie Cutters

— November 15, 2011 — Lifestyle
Playing the part of detective was a favorite childhood pastime of mine, and the Ransom Demands Cookie Cutters definitely remind me of those good old days.

The cookie cutters create a disguised look for your favorite sweet snack rather than the typical round shape they're usually associated with. Use this cookie design to play a fun mystery game with your friends or just as a playful new way to enjoy a chocolate chip treat.

Ditch the heart or star shapes and get the Ransom Demands Cookie Cutters for a delicious new way to enjoy dessert.
