About Us – Just the Two of Us (And a Whole Lot of Cookie Cutters!)

We’re a husband-and-wife duo doing what we love—and loving what we do! Just the two of us here at American Tradition Cookie Cutters, keeping things simple, personal, and full of heart.

Karl’s the creative spark behind our designs, and I (hi, I’m the “booky” one!) keep the gears turning on the business side. We’ve been working side by side for years—yes, even before we tied the knot—and we still run our business the way we run our home: with mutual respect, hard work, and good old-fashioned kindness.

Now, how did we get into the cookie cutter business? Well, Karl’s been shaping metal into cookie magic since he was a teenager. Even though he took a few detours along the way, he always found his way back to cookie cutters. As for me? I never imagined I’d be welding cookie cutters one day—but life had other plans, and I’m so glad it did. Karl encouraged me to dream a little bigger, and now I can’t imagine doing anything else.

Fast forward 19 years, and here we are—still crafting American-made cookie cutters with pride, purpose, and a whole lot of love. Every cutter we make is backed by quality, affordability, and a deep-rooted commitment to the values we hold dear.

Behind the scenes? Oh, it’s a juggling act! Karl designs, makes, and packs the cutters (and handles all the handyman stuff). I keep our website running smoothly, answer your messages, and make sure every single order is lovingly labeled and ready to ship.

Yes, there are only two of us—but that means when you contact us, you’re speaking directly to the folks who built this from the ground up. You’ve got our name on your package and our hands on every step of the process.

A fun fact?
Karl handles nearly all of our social media posts—he’s witty, clever, and keeps things lively on Facebook and Instagram.
And me? I personally weld every single cookie cutter we sell. Yep, every one!

So, whether you’re a baker, a collector, or just love a good cookie, we’re thrilled to be a part of your kitchen adventures. Thanks for stopping by and getting to know us a little better.
