Hot Diggity Dog!!!

We went to a barbeque Sunday night and brought hot dogs:

I saw that there was a cookie cutter for these hot dogs and I really wanted to make them!  But of course, I didn't have the cookie cutter.  So, I googled how to make your own cookie cutter and came up with quite a few inventive ways to do it!  This is what I did:

I wanted my cookie cutter to look like this:

So, I took the lid of an aluminum catering pan and marked off two inch strips: 

I folded the top and the bottom to the middle, and then folded it straight down the middle:

I then worked on shaping the cutter:

And this is what I came up with:

The cookies were a little big, but they were cute!!  I also mixed a lot of orange, brown and red together to get that perfect hot dog color.
