I pretty much could not resist the opportunity to have fun with cookie cutters and burgers. I had been thinking that my cookie cutters were just collecting dust since my son was diagnosed with an egg sensitivity, among others.
These Star Burgers were a fun way to mix it up and my toddler really enjoyed making them with me. If you want to maximize the veggies, check out this recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. grass fed organic beef
- ¼ cup red onion, minced
- 1-2 garlic
- clove, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Set oven to broil.
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Press meat onto parchment paper until it is about ½-inch thick.
- Press a large star cookie cutter firmly into the meat. Give a little wiggle and then remove. There may be a little “fringe” present. If so, use your finger to tuck it on the underside of the cookie cutter.
- Place burgers on parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Broil for 3-6 minutes, depending on how well done you like your burgers.
I served mine up on a bed of lightly sauteed kale with avocado. I plan to make some sliders with them this weekend. I’ll post those pictures too so check back.

In theory, you may be able to pull this off on a grill, but I’d imagine you’d need some aluminum foil to ensure your don’t sacrifice your burgers to the coal. I don’t own a grill so I haven’t experimented with it. But if you do, will you please share your experience with me in the comments?
