We bake our favorite cookie for almost every festive day, we would love to do the same for Diwali. The dough is quicly made. But how to find a cookie cutter for this beautiful festival?
Fortunately, there is Koek-It, an online bakery supplier with a lot of cookie cutters, but non for Diwali. What they do have is a DIY kit! So super fast we made a cutter ourselves, easy peasy with the description (which is included) in hand!
