Confused woman begs for answers after not being able to tell what cookie cutter actually is

Christmas is upon us, and you know that means you’re rushing to scrape up every baking component in your kitchen.

Whether it’s passed down rolling pins, mixers that barely work, a themed baking tray that’s seen better days, or mismatched cookie cutters, there’s just so much you need to work with.

However, one person who was equally in this spin of scrambling to find her cooking essentials, blew up social media with just one question.

As it turns out, she bought something she ended up having no idea what it could possibly be.

Let's get into this Christmas mystery.

When you buy cookie cutters, it usually tells you right off the bat what it could be.

Like, a ‘mermaid’ kit is going to have matching cutters, or an elf, or anything else.

But sadly, this wasn’t the experience of one woman as she explained she bought a specific set with one cutter that just couldn’t be placed.

As you might expect, Reddit decided to figure it out regardless.

Posting in the r/whatismycookiecutter subreddit, the baffled baker wrote: “This is driving me nuts. It’s from a Christmas set but I’m stumped.”

Before we get into what other people think it could, what do you think?

Well, whatever it is, it can't be as wacky as some of the responses in the comments.

Some decided to take the more visual approach and simply fill in what they thought it could be - which ranged from 'Barney the Xmas Crack Head' to what looks like an odd-shaped Homer Simpson.

Others were more in line with the Christmas theme, however, as another guessed: “Any chance it fits together with another from the set, like a puzzle piece?”

A third said: “Could make it a house/ cabin with snow on the roof and ground?”

Ultimately, the general consensus is that it’s supposed to be Christmas presents and possibly a stocking of some sort attached to the end.

One Reddit user said: “Presents and one weird Christmas stocking?”

To which someone else replied: “I’m convinced this is the correct answer," while another commented: “Yes I think it's a pile of Christmas presents too.”

If not that, then what else could it be?

A user theorised that it was simply bent and needed to be straightened out, writing: “Could it be bent? If you flip it over and straighten out the bottom I could be convinced it’s like this slice of pie?”

To be honest, that's not a bad shout.

Ultimately, someone summed it up as: “This sub is the most simultaneously interesting and frustrating place on this site. Which is to say.. I have no clue.”

Another possibility could be that it had a mishap when being made - which if you are curious about, a video has revealed how a small, family-run cookie cutter business makes their products, and it’s fascinating.
