Choose your cookie cutter shape and cut your windows out of your top slice of bread. If you’re making the tops and bottoms cutouts, make your large pieces first, then use your smaller cutter to make the window in half the slices, so you have tops and bottoms ready.
Set aside cut bread and prepare your spreads, toppings, or fillings of your choice.
Layer bottoms with the spreads and top with the windowed slice. (If adding extra toppings, sprinkle into the windows after closing the sandwiches)

Tips
- You can make window sandwiches for you, two, or a platter for 20—just change the number of slices and add more spread!- Can’t find a small cookie cutter for the inside of a larger shape? A small spice jar lid is a smart stand-in for cutting windows! - Get creative! Use a large straw to create several windows or mix it up with different shapes. - Filling falling out? Spread close to the edge, but not all the way—then press along sides of sandwich to create a seal.
