Well, facing Cookie Bitching 2008, I could not resist the temptation to obtain one of this flabbergasting tools for myself.
Only Toño did not entirely share my exuberance. So far, I heavily relied on his Zen like qualities to cut cinnamon stars with the necessary calmness. It's a sticky and hideous dough. However, with the star cutter even I can deal with it without preceding weeks of meditation.

snazzy little tool indeed:9 i don't think i'll bake cookies this year at all....not feeling christmassy in the least.....
There really is nothing that hasn't already been invented.
But Tono can rest knowing that if I ever get round to making Cinnamon stars, he can fight Ewan for the job of official Star Cutter!
I want to try your cinnamon stars this year as well. Though I should stop baking. I don't know where to go with all the Rumkugeln and Triple chocolate cookies and Stollenn. Currently I am doing Schnaps.

My mom used to do this all too much while growing up but she was a perfectionist. I might note that I grew up with the roller and the flour pad instead of flour on the counter... Much different!
Expat, I agree that it's messy. However, there is no flour at all, not even in the mixture. On the counter is icing sugar and on the roller there is cornstarch.
