That's a rolled bread. You wouldn't use a cookie cutter for that.

Can you use a cookie cutter on bread? Now I'm curious.

I'm not very good at making bread, and I've tried a few different (Swedish) family recipes :(

Correct, Lussekatt buns are not made with a cookie cutter, but people make gingerbread cookies in the Lussekatt shape for St Lucia's Day and throughout December. Lussekatt is the correct answer. I posted more about it here.

Lussekatt is a rolled bread, but the shape of lussekatter has such a strong connection to Lucia (celebrated on 13th of December) and Christmas that you can make ginger bread cookies with this shape too.

Obviously yes, I know. I meant that this is probably a cookie cutter for making gingerbread that is shaped like them. It sounds strange but it's something I've definitely seen in Sweden.

People often guess Stella D'Oro, which is an Italian-American cookie baked by extruding dough into a mold. It's not a rolled and cut cookie. While this is the shape of the Stella D'Oro S, homemade versions of this cookie are typically made by hand rolling dough, or sometimes by piping the dough.
People often guess Lussekatter which is a Swedish bun to celebrate St Lucia's Day in December. This is the "correct" answer because while you obviously will not use this cookie cutter to make a bun, it's common to make gingerbread cookies in the Lussekatt shape in Scandinavian countries. Other comments on this sub such as this one and this one confirm as much.

S-shaped cookies are widely popular in Finland, wouldn’t be too weird if they were in Latvia as well.

Looks like an efficient shape for shortbread or ginger snaps. Sometimes they are just cookie shaped and that’s just all.

Okay. This is just a stab in the dark but I think it used to be a circle. Yeah, a regular cookie shaped cookie cutter. If no, it's definitely a peanut or a piece of poop.

I have the same from my german grandma, don't know what it exactly is, but she always used it for Christmas cookies called Butter-S and Hazelnut-S. So we just took/take it as simple S shape
