Stamped Cookie Recipes

Here are some of our tastiest, tried-and-true recipes to kick off your cookie stamp adventures. We’ve also included links to some more cookie recipes perfect for cookie stamping.

General Tips:

  • Always cool your cookie dough before stamping! I will usually cool my dough for at least 30 minutes to an hour. The cookie dough should be fairly firm but not dry. Then, use your hands to shape into 1.5″ balls before rolling it in sugar and stamping!
  • Sprinkle flour on your cookie dough and on your cookie stamp to help with a clean release.
  • Homemade cookie dough works better than store bought. For the clearest imprint after baking, recipes with little to no leavening work best.
  • If any cookie dough does get stuck in the stamp, gently pick it out with a toothpick.

Stamped Cinnamon Brown Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2.5 cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • Cinnamon sugar mix for rolling the cookie dough balls

 

 

Directions

  1. Mix butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl.
  2. Add in egg yolk, milk, honey. and vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, salt, and spices.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. 
  5. Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  6. Divide the cookie dough into balls (I made 12 cookies with this recipe).
  7. Roll the cookie dough balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture and dip the cookie stamp into loose flour. This creates a barrier to ensure the cookie stamp doesn’t stick. 
  8. Press down firmly until you can see the edges of the cookie peeking out around the stamp.
  9. After stamping, chill your cookies in the freezer before baking for 10 to 15 minutes. 
  10. Preheat the oven to 350 and bake for 12 minutes until the edges are set. 

 

Notes:

  • Don’t overbake these cookies! The middle will still be soft and slightly underdone when you take them out of the oven. If you wait for them to look fully done, they’ll be a bit dry.
  • These make pretty thick cookies. You can make them thinner if you prefer, but it may adjust the baking time. 

Stamped Snickerdoodle Cookies

Ingredients: 

  • 2 cups flour (plus extra for stamping)
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for the dough)
  • 1/2 cup softened, unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for the dough)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for the coating)
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (for the coating)

 

Directions:

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until no flour streaks remain. The dough will be pretty dry and crumbly. 
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour. 
  5. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  6. Mix together 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon to make the cinnamon-sugar coating.
  7. Scoop the chilled dough into 1.5 tbsp balls and roll each one smooth between your palms. Then roll each dough ball in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Dip your cookie stamp lightly in flour, then press down in a light rocking motion until you see the edges of the cookie appear around the stamp.
  9. Optional: Use a cookie cutter to cut out around the design if desired.
  10. Place the stamped, unbaked cookies in the freezer to firm up again before baking. This second chill is important for keeping the design sharp through baking! 
  11. Bake for 13-15 minutes straight from the freezer until the edges are set and just barely turning golden. The cookies will look a little puffy but will settle as they cool.
  12. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

 

Notes:

  • The dough will be fairly dry and crumbly. The cookies, once baked, are really soft and delicious!
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and press the crumbly dough together in the plastic wrap to help it all stick together.
  • After chilling the dough, roll it in your hands until the dough feels pliable. It’ll still feel pretty dry at this point, which works out well for cookie stamping. Sticky doughs can be harder to work with when you’re cookie stamping.
