| My most recent acquisition, two carved wooden figures purchased from The Dutch Village in Holland Michigan. |
 |
| A very old hand-carved cookie mold that I found in a flee market in Colorado. There is also a famous cookie mold artisan whom collectors can visit on the web; his name is Gene Wilson and his website is here. |
 |
| A contemporary terracotta cookie stamp that I purchased in a popular kitchen ware shop in downtown Kirkwood, Missouri. |
 |
| Perhaps the oldest cookie mold I own. This one came from an antique dealer in Colorado. |
 |
| A relatively new mold made from copper plate and nickel. |
One of my favorite past times is collecting cookie molds. Every Christmas either I or my daughters unwrap these and contemplate which cookies will be made for the month of December. I must admit, I've been leaving this Christmas tradition to the girls lately. They have become remarkable bakers! Perhaps I should not feel so guilty after all? I still, however, collect cookie molds whenever I can afford to. These are only a few from my giant collection.
