=====Usage notes=====
Some speakers still see it as an attributive form of the noun {{m|en|cookie cutter}}, and typically avoid using it as a true adjective. They append an adjectivising suffix to it (''cookie cutter'' + {{m|en|-ish}} → {{m|en|cookie-cutterish}}) for use in predicate position: "The way people are building houses is so ''cookie-cutterish''."
