A Cool Company & a Giveaway I am Thrilled About!

About a month ago I was contacted by the company, Ann Clark Ltd. For any of you who aren't familiar with their products, they make the sweetest cookie cutters! I, actually, have many their cutters in my pantry already...and they are some of my all time favorites.
Ann Clark is based in Vermont and have been making cookie cutters since 1990.
Visit their website here to see all their products and read their story.
They also have this cool blog called Make More Cookies where if you sign up you can add photos, blog posts, videos and apps. It's like social network for cookie lovers ~ pretty cool!

They asked if they could send me a few of their cutters...uh, YEAH!! Being the sweet company that they are, they inquired about which cutters I was most interested in and I gave them a laundry list of some I had my eye on...they sent me ALL of them! I was blown away!

So here are a few of the cutters that they sent me:

I love that all of their "traditional" cutters are not only super sturdy and easy to use with the handle, but also so versatile.
Here they are all dressed up with royal icing...
I took a little liberty with the Gingerbread girl, but I thought she was just too sweet!
And since I am in New Jersey, thought I'd give a shout out to the local team...
their season isn't going so well, but...
gotta have faith ;)
These cutters would work for any football squad you wanted, and the jersey could really be for any sport!
Now, here's where you come in...the lovely folks over at Ann Clark have offered a giveaway for my readers! YAY!! They would like to give one of you a cookie cutter gift set so you can get your holiday baking off to an awesome start.
On top of that they gave me a DISCOUNT CODE to share with you that can be used on their retail website and will give you 10% off of your purchase...BLGA9.
And one more thing that is so great is if you order 4 or more items SHIPPING IS FREE!! Love that!

Now to enter in the giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment for me on your most favorite cookie cutter of all time...it could be which one you use the most, or just one you have seen that you thought was great.
Commenting ends Friday, 11/13 at 11:59 pm.
Can't wait to read your comments!
Thanks Ann Clark for being so great!

My favorite cookie cutter is so plain! It's just the Ateco circles, I like the medium sized circles.

I LOVE cookies cutters and am sort of a hoarder when it comes to them. My most used is probably an old not very sturdy heart shaped cutter that I have had since college.

Your blog is great fun!

Christy said...

Wow-what a fantastic giveaway!! I'm so excited!!

I could never choose just one to be a favorite cutter, but lately I've used my round cutter the most. It's so versatile to make sports balls, flowers, faces, colorful with writing on them etc.

Thank you for hosting this giveaway!

Hmmm, let me think about what cookie cutter is my favorite. Probably my cupcake cookie cutter. It's so much fun to decorate a cupcake cookie!

Joanna said...

I love what you did with the gingerbread girl! She's so spirited :)

My favorite cookie cutter is one that is round with a bite taken out of it. It makes cookies that look like they have tiny teeth marks! Soo cute. One day I'll have a collection to rival Nigella Lawson's.

My favourite would have to be my gingerbread man cutter - a classic! I love cookie cutters with handles - so much easier!

Unknown said...

My favorite cookie cutter is a Fleur De Lis that I actually got from the Boy Scout store of all places :D It's so pretty!

Now I am enjoying spending some time drooling over this new cookie cutter site!

I have TONS of cookie cutters but every Christmas my kids like the one shaped like Santa's boot!

Nora said...

I am wanting to start a cookie business--wedding, shower favors and such. I also would love to decorate my Christmas tree with snowflake cookies this year, so I am trying to find the perfect snowflake cutter.

Cat J B said...

I found a dinosaur cutter that the kids love and a teeny tiny gingerbread man that is my fave. I love them all though, and am dying to find a cupcake shaped one like peardream75 above said! Hmmm, I wonder if they ship overseas....?

Baking Momma said...

I have so many that are my favorites. But if I had to pick one. It would be the bikini one. I have. People love that one.

PS love the Giants cookies. My husband is a fan. I have always wanted to make them for him. But the helmet cutter has stayed in my draw.

He isn't very happy with them right now lol

My ice cream cone shaped cookie cutter and a baby onsie cookie cutter that I had my dad create for me are my favorites!

Rachel said...

My fav is the cupcake cookie cutter. I mean who doesnt like a cookie shaped like a cupcake?

Corynn said...

Ooh that is so nice of them. I only have a few cookie cutters. As much as I'd like to, I don't really have the funds to start a cookie cutter collection. The one I use the most would be the round cookie cutter and heart shaped one.

My daugther loves making sugar cookies. She is constantly looking at pictures of them on the net. I am sure she would love to try out a new set. The christmas one would be great since it's just around the corner! Thank you!

I think that I love my moose cookie cutter the best. It is big with lots of parts to be broken off as it is eaten! So fun! Your cookies look great!

Flour Box Bakery said...

I love my sheep cookie cutter. It's just so cute. It also happens to be Ann Clark Ltd.

Julie said...

It's so hard to pick a favorite, but I think I'll have to go with the mitten cutter. It's just so darn cute - I like to make mittens and snowflakes together for a very cute wintery set.

Therrien Family said...

My favorite cookie cutter is probably the baby onesie. I love it! You can do so much with it!

Lucky YOU! LOVE your cheerleader!!!

The cutter I use the most is my scalloped square.

Dina S. said...

love the site! some of my favorite cookie cutters are the ones I used as a kid when my mom and I baked holiday cookies together. They were red plastic and came in shapes of Santa, Tree, Turkey, gingerbread man. I only have a few left but I treasure them and the memories created with them :)

Monica H said...

That is so sweet of them- cool!

I don't really have a favorite cookie cutter but my grandmother handed down her cookie cutters to me several years ago and I use those every year to make cookies for Christmas.

I also bought a onesie cookie cutter that I think is just too cute!

Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Tracy said...

Oh my gosh, I love Ann Clark! My favorite cookie cutter is their teacup one. It's the only big cookie cutter I have!

awilliams said...

Picking just one cookie cutter that I like is really hard. My favorite was the cross, it is beautiful. But...I also use the cookie cutters for cutting out shapes with my son's peanut butter sandwiches, for that task, I would have to choose the hand cutter-it is really precious.

Stacy said...

I'm just getting started so don't have a lot of cutters... but i love the cupcake one

KandA said...

What a great giveaway! My favorite cookie cutter would have to be the airplane my mom bought me when I was pregnant with my son! I've yet to use it but hoping to use it for party favors at his 1st B-day!

my favorite cookie cutter is one that i have in the shape of Iowa, my Hubby's home state :)

Rose said...

I agree with most comments here, the plain round cutters.

Maybe not my favorite, but the one I use most often.

My favorite is my birthday teapot cookie cutter. My daughter had a tea party for her 4th birthday and I made the cutest teapot cookies ever!

Unknown said...

My friends and I all have a sick sense of humor. I used my new favorite, fetus cookie cutters, to make the cookies for a baby shower. It was hilarious! Everyone loved them!

Mara Campbell said...

Thanks for the awesome giveaway!! I have a flower shaped cookie cutter that I just love. I have no idea where I got it, but I use it all the time!! Your new cookies and cutters look great!

I love the fact that you asked a company for a sample cutter and they sent you a library! It's so nice to know that there are still people out there that care about others...
I have to admit I love cookie cutters too, my son and I have a sugar cookie tradition. I ALWAYS go for the gingerbread man cutter, still my favorite because I love to bite off the limbs one by one when I eat my cookies!
Happy Friday!!!

Diane Schmidt said...

I was so busy looking I almost forgot to enter! My favorite cookie cutter is my hairdryer (I'm a hairstylist) my clients just love when I make extras cookies for them.
Great Giveaway! Thanks.

Shell- LOVE the football theme, except you should have picked the other local team, JETS!!!!

As for cookie cutters, I love the plain round, I've been using it often to make peace sign testers for the annual cookie party- still have some work to do!! :)

Katrina said...

I have more cutters than I could count, but they are mostly the cheap plastic ones.
Love your cheerleader!
My favorite cutter, Hmm? I like my hand and foot shaped ones.

Angie said...

Exciting give away! My favorite are the gingerbread men/women, because I have fond memories of making gingerbread cookies and decorating them as a kid.

By the grace of God ... said...

I have a bunch of the plastic ones, but I think I like the hand and foot ones!

Rhiannon Bosse said...

Do you ever make stained glass cookies using your creative methods? I imagine the would sparkle as they were hung on a tree or in a window. Thanks for all your ideas.
