About MeTin cookie cutters were popular until about 1920 when aluminum became popular. Aluminum was lighter, easier to care for, and stayed looking nice. For the next twenty five to thirty years aluminum and copper cutters were created in many types, shapes, and sizes.After World War II plastic cookie cutters came into vogue and these were used until metal cutters of various types were rediscovered in the early 1980s.
