In the video, a person is seen using a cookie cutter to cut out shapes from a piece of dough. The dough is placed on a floured surface, and the person carefully presses the cookie cutter into the dough to create the desired shape. After cutting out the shape, the person lifts it off the dough and sets it aside. The process is repeated several times with different cookie cutters to create various shapes. The person's hands are visible in the video, and they appear to be skilled at using the cookie cutter to create clean and precise cuts. The dough is a light brown color, and the cookie cutters are of different shapes and sizes. The flour on the surface is white and is spread evenly to prevent the dough from sticking.
