A really wonderful gift for the baker that you know.

You can also use these stamps to stamp fondant and then cut out and place on cupcakes or cookies as an icing. Very versatile!

USE:
Season your new cookie stamps before using them the first time by brushing them with cooking oil. A toothbrush is ideal for this. The stamp becomes seasoned after using a few times and seldom needs further treatment. Note: Never season your stamps with butter! The oil protects the stamp from the butter in your recipes and keeps them from turning rancid while stored.

The stamp works best if the ball of dough is stamped immediately after rolling it in sugar. If a stamp begins to stick, brush off particles of dugh and let stamp rest. The stamp dries and will stamp well again.
 
It is very important to have the shortbread well-mixed before stamping; if not, the dough will flake off on the stamp.

When finished decorating your cookies, clean the face of your stamps with hot water and a soft brush to remove all traces of butter. Your cookie stamps may be washed like any dish. Let them dry and store in one of our cookie stamp home displays for a charming addition to your kitchen decor.
