I want to use this as a cookie cutter. Will the edge cut through the dough? Thanks.

This cutter has a good weight and an edge just sharp enough to go through dough easily. It is not knife-sharp as to be that kind of dangerous, but for dough, it's great.

The edge is not sharpened to a knife point like a cookie cutter but is probably skinny enough to work as one.

Not really, the edges are smooth in order that you do not cut your hands while you mold you creations on the plate. Why not just buy cookie cutters? Ateco 5357 11 Piece Plain Round Cutter Set

Sure can! Lay your cookie dough in the middle, lay the top piece over it and start rolling it out. Take the top mat off, flip the bottom mat over and onto a cutting board; Remove the Mat from the cookie dough, then start cutting out your cookies. Do NOT cut cookies while the dough is still on the Matt. Have you seen the new MAT with the red trim and the measurements imprinted on it? Looks sharp.

Yes, from the front you are able to in my opinion. It cuts perfectly and the hole is perfect size for stringing a string or two to attach to a cookie as a favour which is why I purchased it for.

Yes it is thick enough to make a cookie cutter, however it is a bit flimy, I personally would look for something a bit stiffer.

Mine didn't come with a dough blade. I always used the metal blade so this is a non-issue.

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've never had any problem. I use it for cookie dough and it works great, no issues.

I have never tried using the bags for that purpose and don't know if the dough would come through the 1/2 opening. I think the dough would probably be to thick. But you could also cut the bag opening larger to make it work.

Not sure about using for sandwiches, the cutters are very small, in fact I couldn't even get the cookie dough out easily.

The mat will not last very long if you cut dough with a sharp knife. If you simply divide the dough with a dull knife or scraper it will hold up.

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, especially if you have a rotary cutter and mat like is used for sewing.

I haven't tried it for dough, but I would imagine so. The cookies (?) would be pretty big.

Depends on the consistency of the dough. You may have to help some of it into the corners. Try to keep the dough level.

I am not 100% sure, however, the pizzelle maker closes tightly and pushes excess batter out so I doubt it would make a thicker cookie.

As long as you're careful when you press the knife into the crust I don't think you should have a problem. I have used it to cut potatoes with it before. Just make sure that when you cut through the crust that you press straight down gently and don't force it. If this works for you I would appreciate a response to let me know that it can be used for this purpose. Thank you.

I used metal cookies cutters when I cut out Easter cookies. I didn't press REAL hard but it looked fine when I was done. I've used mine many times.Happy baking with the kids. Sounds like fun.
