Tesla cookie cutter - simpler for stronger cookies

This is a separate iteration of my first Tesla cookie cutter I made for cutting dough for Peppermint Patties (pa-T's?).
For cutting robust pattie dough for dipping in chocolate, the top bar of the T needs to be a good bit thicker, and no V cutout. (I figure I'll keep the other one up, since it's a better place to start for modifying it to be a cutter for cookies that has more detail.)
ProTips: Peppermint patties are easy to make! When you cut the dough, pull away the negative parts, then freeze. Dip quickly as the chocolate freezes to the dipping fork.
Definitely look into tempering proper dipping chocolate (read the label for => 31% cocoa butter). This makes for a harder, shinier shell that snaps when you bite into it. It also doesn't melt as easily in your hand. Last year I didn't know about tempering, but this year it made a huge difference!
