Cookie Cutter #4

◆◆ · By kieranjboyd · Published 2022-12-22T00:15:50.372Z

Constructor's Note
This is part of a series of crosswords in which a particular shape is revealed once complete. In this puzzle, five clues hint at the theme for all these shapes (which I'm sure you've identified by now). The grid shape is revealed in all cells in the final grid that appear in that word. [Hopefully the tough fill will be worth the reveal!]
