Using cookie cutters of your choice, cut out shapes from the center of 8 slices of bread. Set the cutouts aside.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper until well combined. Spread a thin layer of this mixture evenly on each slice of bread.
Place 4 slices of bread on a clean surface, buttered side up. Top each with a slice of cheddar cheese, ensuring the cheese is trimmed to size and does not extend beyond the edges of the bread.
Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top, buttered side down, to form sandwiches.
Carefully press the cookie cutter shapes back into the corresponding cutout spaces to create adorable sandwiches with shaped centers. Save the extra trimmed shapes for snacking or decoration.
For a fancier presentation, secure each cutout sandwich with a decorative party pick, if desired.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving.
