Shaping your cookies is one of the easiest ways to make them look impressive, and it makes them more fun to eat.

When you give someone a gift, especially if it’s homemade, the presentation matters.

A carefully-shaped cookie will make an impression on anyone who sees it.

These cookie-shaping hacks are here to help you take your cookie baking to the next level. These helpful tips will make it easier than ever to create beautiful, perfectly-shaped treats that look like they came straight out of a bakery case.

And they’ll give your cookies an added layer of pizzazz that will make them even more delicious than before!

Without further ado, let’s break down some cookie-shaping hacks you can easily do.

First, we have the triple swirl cookie. All you need to do is divide the three different types of dough into separate balls. Then, use a transparent pyrex dish to push down and swirl the ingredients together.

And just like that, you now have a perfectly swirled cookie!

Another cool cookie style is the pasta petals.

You might utilize other food that’s in your pantry for a more artistic and flowery appeal. Pasta and cookie dough are all you need!

To make this design, repeatedly lightly push the penne noodle into the dough and that’s it!

Now let’s move on to the geometric cookie.

All you need for this geometric-form cookie is a cooling rack. Take the cooling rack and push it into the cookie once the dough has been flattened out and cut into the proper shape.

The geometric design will start to take shape beautifully as you rotate the cooling rack while continuously pushing it down.

A biscuit blossom is also another floral cookie idea.

Simply form your dough into little balls to use this simple trick. Grab a toothpick, then arrange them into the shape of the bloom you want.

Your biscuit blossom will start to form when you gently press the toothpick into the center of the dough ball.

Another awesome shape is the leaf cookie.

You only need a fork from the kitchen for this design trick. To give the dough a leafy texture, gently press a fork into it in a diagonal direction.

Finally, insert the long side of the fork into the center of the biscuit by flipping it over. And you now have cookies that look like stunning leaves!

When shaping cookies, your imagination’s the limit!

If you want to get really specific about what shape your cookies will be, consider making your own cookie cutter.

You can use any simple object as a template and create a stencil out of cardboard or thin plastic. Just trace around the object with a pencil and cut out the shapes with a knife.
