Hey Besties! We’re in a cookie coma over here, while in love with these latest stamped cookies! And while I’ve shared many cookie stamp recipes and designs, we’ve discovered a new style of stamp! I’m so excited to show you this new design along with exactly how to use a cookie stamp for perfect results! Even with this intricate sunflower design, this stamp delivered perfectly! Read on to choose which flavor recipe you want to make, along with exactly which stamping techniques work best for different stamps.
A New Cookie STamp!
So we’ve established our love for the Nordic Ware cookie stamps time and time again. I still love those stamps, evidenced by the number of recipes and posts I’ve shared using them! They are easy to use and create stunning cookies, using the technique I shared HERE. But today I’m sharing a new style of stamps which allows for an even easier way to achieve perfect designs when used with our recipes!
Today’s beautiful sunflower stamp is available from Fun Food Tools which offers a huge collection of intricate and stunning cookie stamps! When I saw this Sunflower Stamp, I knew I had to have it! But to be completely honest, I was very curious as to how this style of stamp would work with our recipes. Happy to report, they work amazing! But I use a different stamping technique than we do with our Nordic Ware stamps. Fortunately, I found it even easier and hope you do too! It’s always great to have options and we’ll review both techniques and the results they offer!
How To Use A Cookie Stamp
How to achieve perfectly crisp, clean designs using stamps depends on two main things: the recipe you’re using and the stamping technique. We’ve got you covered in the recipe department, with easy to make dough that is incredibly delicious and perfectly holds stamp designs. The hardest part is picking your favorite flavor! They can all be found HERE and are all incredible delicious!
Next, let’s talk about stamping styles and techniques!
Nordic Ware Cookie Stamps
When using metal Nordic Ware stamps, it is best to roll your dough into oversized balls, coat in sugar and then stamp down and use a cutter to remove excess dough. These photos illustrate what the dough looks like after stamping and then after removing excess dough with a round cutter. Very straightforward and simple! Cookies using this style of stamp are generally thicker, unless you’re pushing down really thin, so we bake for 11-12 minutes at 350 degrees.
Fun Food Tools Cookie Stamps
With these intricately designed, wooden stamps, a different cookie stamping technique works best. Simply roll out your dough to your desired thickness. We love 1/4 cookies around here, so we use our Joseph Joseph rolling pin to do the measuring for us. Then you will want to dip your stamp in flour, tap off the excess and simply stamp your dough! This style does not require the same amount of pressure that the metal stamps do in order to capture the design. Then simply use a 2.5″ round cutter to cut the dough and place onto your parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Baking Times
Since these cookies are rolled out and thinner after stamping, I found that 8-9 minutes at 350 degrees results in a perfectly soft, chewy cookie. With our Nordic Ware stamped cookies, we typically bake for 11-12 minutes since they are thicker. Bake longer if you want a crispy cookie!
Can It Get ANy Easier?!
It’s seriously as simple as that! ANYONE can make these spectacular stamped cookies that are equally as delicious as they are pretty! No one ever believes they are homemade, and they don’t need to know how easy they are to make! Just sit back and enjoy a cookie and the credit!
I hope you found this post all about how to use a cookie stamp, to be helpful and inspiring! It truly is very simple to make these delicious and beautiful cookies! Pic your favorite flavor recipe, pick your stamp and the corresponding technique, bake and enjoy! Perfect for any occasion, to complement other dishes or just to enjoy with a cup of coffee!

Please stop self promoting in fb groups. You don’t need to post a link to your blog every time someone asks a question. Just answer the question. Shame on you.
I wasn’t going to give any energy to your hurtful comment, but as a mom who teaches her kids to treat everyone with kindness and compassion, I’m following suit. Although, since you used a fake email address, you may never see this. This blog was born to help inspire, support and promote other home bakers to reach all the potential and success they desire. It was born while I was living in a children’s hospital with my son, who was being treated for cancer. We are on day 729 of cancer treatment and I encourage everyone to follow their passion every day. You never know when it can be taken away from you. I spend several hours every day connecting with bakers across the globe, helping them, promoting them, creating content to help them become wildly successful. If I can help a fellow baker, by encouraging them, answering a question or sharing a resource, I will always do that. Just as I help others in any way I can in all areas of my life. And as I tell my kids every morning as they leave for school, “Help someone today!”, I hope they grow up to do the same for others. If my help or content doesn’t resonate with you, feel free to scroll on. I hope next time you’ll think twice before shaming someone for helping others or knowing their heart.
Hello there! I just came across your amazing recipe and I must say it looks absolutely delicious. I recently had the pleasure of working with a talented London food photographer and I thought you might be interested in their stunning portfolio. You can check out their work. They truly have an eye for capturing the beauty of food. Keep up the fantastic work on your blog, and I can’t wait to try this recipe myself!
