👩🍳Can you use Cookie Cutters for Pancakes?
You can use metal cookie cutters to make pancake shapes. It is important to avoid using plastic cookie cutters as they may melt against the hot surface.
To create pancake shapes with cookie cutters, you can grease the metal cookie cutters with non-stick baking spray and place them on a greased griddle.
Then, ladle pancake batter into the center of each cookie cutter and cook until the edges are dry and bubbles form. Remember to remove the cookie cutters using tongs as soon as possible after the pancake holds its shape.

📋Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.
💡 Substitutions and Variations
- If you don't want to use the Christmas sprinkles, you can use mini chocolate chips.
- Or you can get creative with seasonal flavors like peppermint or white chocolate chips.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon and nutmeg into your pancake batter for a warm and cozy holiday flavor.
- Fresh or dried cranberries can add a burst of tangy sweetness to your pancakes. You can mix them into the batter or sprinkle them on top before flipping.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Once combined, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
- Step 2: Pour ¼ cup of batter onto a preheated electric griddle for each pancake. Add the sprinkles evenly over the top of each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, flip and cook the other side about 1-2 minutes.
- Step 3: Keep the pancakes warm until ready to serve.
- Step 4: Serve the pancakes warm with butter and maple syrup.
- Step 5: Add a few extra sprinkles on top!
- Step 6: Enjoy!
📌Quick Tip: For a truly decadent treat, substitute some of the buttermilk in your pancake batter with eggnog. This will give your pancakes a rich and creamy texture with a hint of nutmeg!
