    The "Mold" feature under 'Special Modes' might be of use here (it's hidden by default in the printer settings). It'll only print walls that are directly outside of your model - allowing you to literally use it as a mold for your model. Only difference is that instead of using it to cast a part, you'll be using it to cut dough.
     
    The default thickness on my end was 5mm, which may be a tad much for a cookie cutter, but you can just tweak that and the wall angle to whatever you need it to be.

    -Add a support blocker block
    -Go to "Per model settings"
    -Set it to "Modify settings for Overlaps"
    -In the drop-down menu below it, set it to "Cutting Mesh"
    -In the bottom left corner, while having your "support blocker" block still selected, select your second extruder
    -Scale the "support blocker" to your required size, and set it to your required X/Y/Z
     
    That should print everything in the area you marked with your 2nd extruder.
     
    I call it a "support blocker" because it loses that functionality if you set it like this in the per-model settings.

    In my experience it just makes sure that your print head is primed; that the material is all ready to go, as it has already extruded the skirt before moving over to the print.
