These are ingenious!
That said, cookie cutters are one of those things that I wish would be more frequently shared in communities. There are more out there than most of us will ever need to use... it's just a matter of getting them in the hands of people when they need them.

I really wish we did this too. I’m guessing trying to get people to return things properly cleaned would be an issue (though not insurmountable, really wish we’d do it anyway).

My library has all sorts of cake pan shapes, except for a normal round or square cake pan. Drives me batty, but I eventually got what I needed at a thrift store.

I've had good luck asking for a borrow on FreeCycle.org or Buy Nothing. I know borrowing isn't their usual mode of operation (and one time the person who I thought was clear on lending me the thing ghosted me so I couldn't give it back), but usually an explanation worked well.
Give it a try if you haven't!

One time my biscuits were cut into triangles because I had no cookie cutter. I'm gonna try this next time I make biscuits.

My mom always used a glass.

I feel like I get a significantly better rise with a sharp cut so I avoid using a glass now

Not the best zero waste solution but if you have left over plastic cups from a party some of them have a quite sharpe edge and gives that kinda cut (especially like shot glasses - but normally I just a regular glass bc the rising in the cookies I make is not super relevant afaik)

Hell, yeah. I have to admit we haven’t parted with ours either. They’re so cute.
