You have several options. One is to check "print thin walls" but how thin are your walls? For example a typical nozzle is 0.4mm wide. If the walls are thinner than that well the cookie cutter won't be strong enough anyway - it will be as bad as using paper for a cookie cutter.
I recommend 1mm thick walls for a cookie cutter.
A better option is probably to make the model solid with a top and bottom and then in cura tell it to do no top/bottom layers thickness 0 and zero infill and then cura can do it in one pass instead of two (prints twice as fast) and you can control the thickness of the cookie cutter in cura. Set line width and wall width to 0.6 for a thick strong cookie cutter or 0.4 for a thinner cookie cutter.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications

The model's walls are too thin.

Thank you very much. In the end, I went into blender and increased the thickness worked like a treat! Thanks for your help.
