Kids Can Help Make The Cutout Star Sandwiches
This recipe is perfect for getting kids involved in the kitchen!
Since no sharp knives are needed, they can safely help cut out the star shapes with cookie cutters and spread the jam.
For a delicious PB&J twist, simply spread your favorite nut butter on the bread first, then add the jam and top it all off with the star-shaped bread cutout.
This ensures the vibrant jam color remains visible in the center of the sandwich.
Cute Sandwiches That Are Fun for All
Dietary restrictions are no problem either!
Opt for soft, spongy gluten-free bread that works well with cookie cutters.
To ensure the sandwiches are vegan, choose bread loaves that don’t contain dairy products (always check the label!).
Planning a party?
Make these sandwiches ahead of time and store them in an airtight container or on a covered platter to prevent drying.
And don’t toss those leftover bread scraps!
They can be chopped up for stuffing during the holidays or crumbled into breadcrumbs for future recipes.

Cutout Star Sandwich Recipe
Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Yield: 5 Servings
Ingredients
10 slices Bread
¼ cup Jam
Supplies
Star Cookie Cutters (small and large)
Table Knife
Instructions
1) Use the large star cutter to cut a star shape from each piece of bread.
2) Cut small stars in the middle of 5 of the star shaped bread slices. These slices will be the tops for the sandwiches.
3) Spread a small amount of jam on each of the 5 bottom star shaped bread without the little star hole in them. Use just a little bit and don’t spread it too close to the edges, so it doesn’t ooze out of the sandwich.
4) Serve immediately or store in an airtight container or wrap in plastic wrap to serve later.
