In the video, a person is seen using a cookie cutter to cut out shapes from dough. The dough is placed on a tray, and the cutter is pressed down into it to create the shape. The person then removes the excess dough around the cutter to reveal the shape of the cookie. The process is repeated multiple times to create several cookies of the same shape. The cookies are then placed on a baking sheet and baked in the oven. The final product is a batch of freshly baked cookies in the shape of the cutter used.
