What are Stamped Cookies?
Stamped Cookies are Cookies that are beautified by using Cookie Stamps. You can use any cut out cookie recipe to make Stamped cookies.
Your favorite roll out cookie dough can be used to make Stamped cookies. I would advise you use a drop cookie dough like a chocolate chip cookie dough. I love to use either my shortbread cookie dough or my best sugar cookie dough recipes. They are easy to make and perfect for making Stamped cookies since both cookie doughs are firm and can be rolled out. If you want to make a gluten free version, try these gluten free sugar cookies.

How to make Stamped Cookies
- Prepare your favorite cookie dough
- Make sure your cookie cutter is slightly larger in size than the cookie stamp you intend to use.
- Roll out the cookie dough to a 1/4 inch thickness.
- Dust your cookie stamp with some flour.
- There are two ways to stamp your cookies,
Method 1:
This is my preferred method. Stamp the cookie dough with the cookie stamp. Then use a cookie cutter to cut out around the edges. Transfer cookies to a lined baking sheet and bake. This method works faster for me.
Method 2
Press down cookie cutter on the dough, leave it there there put the cookie stamp inside the cutter while it’s still on the dough, then press the stamp gently to imprint the dough while still holding your cookie cutter in place. Repeat process till dough is used up. Transfer cookie cut outs to a baking sheet and bake.

There are cookie stamps with a wooden stamp or a cast aluminum stamp, there are plastic cookie stamps and there are others with a silicon stamp. I prefer those with a silicon stamp because of the flexibility of the stamp. It’s easier to wash in between the crevices. But the cast aluminum seem sturdier with deeper etched designs.
There are also wooden rolling pins that serve as stamps.
When choosing a stamp. Whether Plastic, silicon, wooden or cast aluminum, take a look at the design of the stamp and make sure it’s design is well marked out deep enough to make an impression on the cookie.
Fun fact: You can make fun themed cookies using themed Cookie cutters like these Game of thrones ones.
These are some of my favorite cookie stamps

Hello! So darling! Wondering if you could share the link or brand of your scallop cookie cutter you used here? It’s just like one my deceased grandmother always used, and I would love to use one in memory of her! Thanks!!
Hi Jes,
I couldn’t find the exact one. Looks like the seller no longer has it. However, I found something similar here it is

Here’s a metal one which I think will be great too. https://amzn.to/3IVwHLq
Enjoy! Thanks for reaching out!

These look great ! Where are the stamps; from? I have tried using cookie stamps but the design seems to almost disappear when I bake the cookies. Any ideas how I can get results like yours ? Thanks
Hi Em,
Thank you. I got my cookie stamps from crate and barrel. I just checked their website and they don’t seem to have it at the moment. I found a similar one here https://amzn.to/3i2tFo6. (Affiliate link)
Basically you should be looking for cookie stamps with deep groves (mine is silicon)
The consistency of your cookie dough may also be the reason the design disappears.
If your dough is too soft or if it has a lot of butter, when it’s in the oven, the heat is likely to make the dough melt and the design will blend in.
Before you consider buying another cookie stamp. Try my recipe (after stamping the cookies refrigerate for 30 mins before baking) if the design still disappears, then consider buying new stamps. Thanks for stopping by. Hope my response helps. Stay safe!

Thank you so very much for your swift response and helpful reply. I will try your recipe and suggestion to cool the cookies before baking. Thanks also for the link to the cookie stamps, I’m in the uk so will check out the uk amazon site. I’ve been using an acetate cookie stamp and the lettering is quite small and intricate so maybe not the right choice. Thanks again !
Hi Em,
I am happy to help anytime. Maybe the acetate cookie stamps you are using are too small. Let me know how you got along with the recipe. Feel free to reach out again if need to. 😊
