Nordic Ware Cookie Stamps

If you’ve been here before, you know I’m a big fan of the Nordic Ware cookie stamps. Known for their quality, designs and great value, they never let me down. Honestly, I’m a big sap and I can’t wait to pass these down to my grandkids someday. For today’s set, I used one of my favorite stamps from Nordic Ware’s geo cast set, which you can find HERE. And I also used my “Thank You” stamp from their greetings stamp set, found HERE. I use all these stamps on repeat, they are as good as new and make perfectly stunning cookies.

How to Use a Cookie Stamp

As I shared earlier, anyone can make STUNNING cookies with stamps. And by following these tips, you’ll have fun making beautiful cookies!

Using any one of our stamp recipes, you’ll want to chill your dough, as directed in each recipe, to achieve the best crisp designs. While all of our cutout cookie recipes are no-chill, chilling the dough for these stamped cookies helps achieve the beautiful designs you’re after.

Once your dough is ready, you will roll into balls slightly larger than golf balls. Honestly, you’re going to trim the excess off after stamping anyway and add it back to your dough, so don’t worry about making them too big or wasting dough. You will then roll them in granulated sugar, which makes it easier for the dough to release from the stamp. For this peanut butter recipe, I also dipped my stamp in granulated sugar before stamping.

I work over wax paper and bake on parchment-lined cookie sheets. You will simply center the stamp over the ball and press down hard. You will see the dough coming out around the edges of the stamp and that is okay, don’t worry! Note that when working with chilled dough, it takes a little extra muscle since the dough is harder. When you lift up, the dough may release from the stamp or may stick; again, no worries. If it does hold onto the stamp, simply peel it off carefully from one side and return it to your cookie sheet. This is one of the reasons I encourage you to purposely make your dough balls big; it gives you a lip to hold onto to peel the cookie off the stamp, if needed.

Now you’ll want to trim the excess off and there are a couple easy ways to do this! If you have a circle cookie cutter about 2.75″ in size, you can simply place this over the stamped cookie dough to trim the excess off. If you don’t have the right size circle cutter, I recommend THESE. I use them anytime I’m hand-cutting dough and they work great!

This what they’ll look like after pressing a round cookie cutter over them and then once you’ve removed the excess dough.

Your cookies are now ready to bake and enjoy!

Course Dessert

Cuisine American

Servings 36 cookies (depending on cookie size)

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup (226 g) Salted Butter Chilled, Cubed
• 3/4 cup (165 g) Light Brown Sugar
• 3/4 cup (150 g) Granulated Sugar
• 1 1/2 cups (360 g) Peanut Butter (I use JIF)
• 2 Large Eggs Chilled
• 1 tsp (5 ml) Vanilla Extract
• 3 cups (400 g) All-Purpose Flour
• 1/2 tsp (2 g) Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp (3 g) Salt

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• I bake on my favorite perforated baking mats to eliminate any chance of spread, for even baking and pretty undersides of our cookies!
• In your mixer bowl (or large bowl with hand-mixer) cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. This usually takes about 2 minutes.
• Beat in peanut butter, vanilla extract and eggs.
• In a separate bowl, combine baking powder, salt and flour. Add to wet ingredient mixing bowl a little at a time.
• Mix until thoroughly blended.
• Chilling the dough is not necessary! Although, you're welcome to chill your dough if you prefer. You'll achieve perfect designs regardless of whether you chill this dough or not.

If using wooden cookie stamp:

• I usually divide the dough into 3 chunks and roll out each onto a floured surface and cut. I make our cookies 1/4" thick and use my Joseph Joseph rolling pin which does the measuring for me – genius!
• I dip my stamp in loose flour and tap off the excess. I re-flour my stamp after every 1-2 cookies.
• Use wooden stamp to gently press down into the dough to create the design.
• Use a round cookie cutter to cut the dough and place on parchment-lined cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes.
• Cool cookies on cookie sheet until firm enough to transfer to cooling rack.

If using a metal cookie stamp:

• Roll dough into balls slightly larger than golf ball size.
• Roll dough balls in granulated sugar.
• Using cookie stamp, center over ball and push down hard. Dough will squeeze out around stamp. Slowly lift/remove stamp.
• If dough sticks to stamp, use a lip of the dough to carefully peel the cookie dough off the stamp and place on cookie sheet.
• Trim any excess dough around the stamped design, using a circle cookie cutter or pen blade for baking.
• Bake at 350 for 11-12 minutes.
• Cool cookies on cookie sheet until firm enough to transfer to cooling rack.
