Bah, I have seen your jack-o-lantern skills. Would Martha Stewart give up just because she couldn't buy the cookie cutters online? Channel your inner Martha Stewart!

You can print the flattest version of the design you can find and cut it out to use as a template. You can "laminate" the templates with clear packing tape so they can be wiped off and reused. This is assuming you are making quantities of cookies limited to your and Sparky's consumption needs, as tracing a template with a knife gets old pretty fast.

Can you really resist the thud of a Fluffiana gauntlet hitting your lawn?
