Could I use metal and/or plastic cookie cutters to cut out cookie dough on this mat?

I'm not sure about them but I cut through mine while using a pizza cutter on fondant. I would do it very carefully.

Sure, plastic ones work fine.I've used metal ones,but only with soft dough that didn't require much pressure. I generally keep sharp tools away from the mat as I want it to last for a good long time.

Plastic, yes. Metal, only if you're very careful not to press too hard. Any sharp object would definitely pierce the "skin"-- the top is somewhat matte, and holds spread flour very well. I used a hard plastic spatula the other day, to cut top strips for a piecrust, and it worked great; but I was careful not to press too hard.

I don't see why not. I haven't tried those kinds of dough but I would think as long as you can get it through the rollers it will put out a nice flat sheet of dough.

I have not used this for cookies. If you use thicker settings I would think you could use it for stamped out Figurine cookies! Have fun

I haven't had any problems, but I use this mat for rolling dough/pastry only. I have separate SilPats for cooking. The only thing I try to be very careful with is using any sort of scraper on the mat. It would ruin it if the surface got scratched/cut up.

Sorry guys but the baking mats should never be cut. At their core is a fiber glass weave coated in silicone that should never be cut open and exposed to food. Hope this helps.Matt - StarPack Team

I'm not sure why you'd want to, as these mats are for baking. Dough: yes. Hot glue gun: not so much.

I do not believe regular scissors will cut the mat, it is a hard plastic - although semi-pliable since it was rolled. It is harder and more brittle than some new ultimate linoleum planks we recently laid, which I was able to cut with scissors.My husband said probably a fine tooth jigsaw would be best cutting it.

Even though, I am sure you could... I wouldn't recommend it, since it isn't rigid; unless you will be using the oven racks as a "psedo-cookie sheet," then perhaps it could be done.

I doubt that would work very well. I'd use a wheel cutter if I had room to get to it.

An actual knife will leave marks on this mat or even cut it. It is a soft, pliable silicone mat. You can cut with a hard, plastic scraper or hard, plastic spatula. Just cut softly. This mat stays on my counter nicely and is great for rolling out dough, but I have run into this same issue. Because the mat is so functional otherwise, I have found these other ways to gently cut things. I think a pizza cutter potentially will leave marks on the mat or cut it. I made cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning. I used this mat to roll the dough and make them. I used a knife to cut the rolls which left indentations on the mat. It is still functional for future, but I was reminded to use hard plastic next time and cut gently.

I believe that you can do that. They are made of metal you may have the batter leak from under the cookie cutter but it's worth a try. Good luck with what you have in mind. Remember they ate not huge about the size of a small medium cookie. Hope I have been of some help there.

They are very small. The animals shape size is 1-1/2 in" I had not use them to cut cookie dough. Should be ok to cut the dough. But not sure will come out good look from the oven.

Absolutely, especially if you have a rotary cutter and mat like is used for sewing. That is the kind of edge that comes from the manufacturer. It is a huge mat for rolling out cookies, dough, and pie crust, but could be used for any other purpose where a silicone mat is desirable. My counters are wide because of an overhang for a breakfast bar, so I love the oversize. But you could be very economical and cut smaller sizes from one big sheet easily. I would not think cutting with scissors would work well, however - use a rotary cutter and mat or find someone who has one. hope this helps you. Sharon

Absolutely! That's the reason we bought it. It helps to throw down a little flower to help the dough lift off without leaving any behind. Also, be careful if you're using a cookie cutter or something like that; it'll go right through the mat it you're not careful.

This should work fine, as long as you don't pause between the clicks and let the dough break. It helps if you tilt the press so the dough is coming out parallel to the cookie sheet.

It handles pizza doughs and bread doughs. For cut-out cookie doughs, I would recommend sprinkle some flour on the pizza pan's cloth and roll them off of it.
