Smiley Faces Cookie Cutters

I had no problems using these cutters. I followed the tips given by other reviewers and floured the cutters well. I used the recipe provided very kindly by another reviewer ( half quantity). I used the vanilla frosting ( half quantity) and seedless raspberry jam diluted with a little lemon juice ( Mary Berry tip). I piped the frosting in a circle and filled the centre with the jam mixture. When topped with the upper biscuit, the jam squidged through the eyes and mouth most satisfyingly! My family and friends loved them.

I didn't actually need these but I wanted these. I bought them so I could bake some cookies for a valentine present. I have used them twice now and each time I have been amazed at how great the biscuits look. They are easy to use and wash up well too. Probably the only thing that is missing is a recipe but that is easily found on the internet or kindly supplied by another reviewer. You can't help smiling at the cheery faces and it makes me happy baking and eating them.

These are wonderful - I was worried the eyes and mouths would shrink/disappear when the biscuits were cooked, but everything worked perfectly (again and again, have used them many times!) and they look so great. I use butter icing and then a bit of strawberry ice cream topping to fill them (and used the recipe someone posted in a review very early on - thank you, it is perfect).

Did a 'modified Katrina' recipe to allow for gluten and dairy free. Used dairy free margarine & Dove's farm flour (400 gr plain, 200 gr self raising because I run out of the plain). Katrina's recipe makes 65 biscuits, I should have used half. I found the cutters fiddly, but very rewarding. When the dough fell off the cutter, I turned it over and it looked ok, with a bit of extra shaping. The heat of the oven seems to have fixed and smoothed the mistakes over. Mine puffed up a bit, so the shape is good but not as perfect as the photo. They are great value for money and have lots of potential :)

When I saw these in the shop I couldn't leave without buying them, I made a batch of biscuits today and they're wonderful little cutters. I read the previous reviews and made sure to flour the cutters well, the faces did need a bit of patience to remove but they weren't as fiddly as I had anticipated I agree with previous reviewers that the inclusion of the recipe would be lovely but I'd still highly recommend these to any avid bakers. Definitely a set to have in the cupboard.
