cookie stamps

[Lisa Loiselle]

Has anyone tried the new SU cookie stamps? I bought them and will be trying them out this weekend. I wondered if anyone out there has tried them and has any pointers. Can't wait! Thanks!

Mary Fish had some posts on her blog about the cookie stamps.

Here is a link to one:

Thanks! I finally had the opportunity to use them today. I used the Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix that comes in a pouch and used the rolled cookies instructions. I found the snowflake image was a bit more distinct when I stamped after I baked them, because there is leaven in that mix. I also found it worked better to dip the stamp in sugar than in flour. These are a blast - sure hope they come out with more designs!

There are another three in the upcoming Occasions mini. Bunny face, shamrock and flower.

Seriously? Yay!! I'm hoping for a paw print in the future.

Here's something else you can do with them....make chocolates! They work as paper molds too.

I think the Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix is the best of the packaged mixes out there. I like to add a little nutmeg to my cookies to give it a little something special. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I just saw the Occasions mini. I'm a little disappointed that the new shapes aren't being sold separately. I really don't need a second handle. Sigh.

I tried the shortbread recipe this morning. The cookies are absolutely delicious but the image spread out just as much as it did with the BC cookie mix. I think I might have to spring for the other images. These are fun!

[Lisa Loiselle]

Forgot to mention - the shortbread recipe says it makes about 16 cookies but I got 2 1/2 dozen out of it.

anyone else have feedback on this product???

I absolutely LOVE mine. Great to use with kids, and the Sugar Cookie recipe that comes with them is PERFECTION. But I wish there was a no-handle option for the other sets too Lisa. I have used them A LOT and they have been through the dishwasher multiple times (not the handle though!) and no change.

I typically get 2 dozen big cookies out of each batch. Then I proceed to eat them all in one go. Nom Nom Nom.

Some of the images work for creating paper molds. Here's a document I put together from various sources that has some additional tips and ideas.

I really love these little guys. Love the new designs in the new Annual Catalog too.

thank you so much for these resources!!! I think I want to get this product and this should help me succeed in using it.

I think I may be getting some of these now! Thanks!
