How can I use kitchen cabinets as built-ins next to my fireplace?
Can I cut the depth in kitchen cabinets to use either side of my fireplace to make it look like built-ins ?

Yes! You would cut them down prior to assembling. Similar to what we did here: https://www.frugalfamilytimes.com/2018/04/how-to-diy-ikea-built-in-bookcase.html
Sure, but easier just to use uppers and add a 4" base. We do it all the time.
Use the uppers as the bottom cabinets. You will need to build a base for them. https://www.semiglossdesign.com/how-to-install-cabinets-for-built-ins
