Cookie Cutter Art

Here's a fun way to serve a holiday sandwich.

Instead of serving a plain sandwich as the one on the right, take a miniature cookie cutter and cut out a portion of the top slice of bread. A festive filling on the bottom slice will highlight the design of the cookie cutter when you complete your sandwich with the top slice. When using cookie cutters with sandwiches, I have found that the very thin sliced bread (Pepperidge Farm, for example) helps to accentuate the design of the cutter. Here I've used a petite Christmas tree cookie cutter, but we have the cutest miniature teapot cookie cutters in The Rosemary House that would be perfect at any time of the year.
