Claims20
A cookie cutting apparatus for concurrently cutting a plurality of cookies in dough, said apparatus comprising:
- an upper platform member having an interior array of cutting members having a first diameter with a cutting surface on an end thereof,
- a lower platform member having a exterior array of cutting members having a second diameter and a cutting surface on an end thereof, said first diameter being smaller than said second diameter,
- said upper platform member arranged above said lower platform and aligning said interior array of cutting members with an axis of said second cutting members
- wherein said upper platform member is actuable from a first configuration where said interior array of cutting members is in a raised position, to a second configuration where said interior array of cutting members are telescopically inserted into said exterior array of cutting members to a lowered position such that the cutting surface of said interior array is in substantially the same plane as the cutting surface of said exterior array.
