Hi stampers! Happy Christmas Eve! I know everyone's busy (so far I've run four miles, made a pumpkin pie cheesecake, pizza dip, cleaned the house and baked cookies, lol) but I just had to share what I made today! I finally used my Sweet Pressed Cookie stamps and they turned out so well! I used the sugar cookie recipe that came with the stamps and I didn't THINK I liked sugar cookies....well...guess who can't stop eating them, ha!
The cookie stamps are very cool! My hubby even agreed when I let him make a couple! You get a wooden handle and then three silicone cookie stamps! They leave a raised image on your cookie that is just too cool! You just make balls of dough and stamp away! They do take a bit of practice to get the cookie pressed to the right thickness and evenly but it was easy!
Check them out!
Now, I made some without sprinkles and some with. For the ones without I know some people had trouble with the dough sticking a bit and had to dip the stamp in sugar but mine didn't seem to stick. I did not refrigerate my dough either like some have said. I think I'll try that next time just to see if there is a difference! For the ones with the sprinkles I took the stamp and turned it upside down and poured the sugar over it then wiped the excess off with my (clean, hehe) finger. I then took the dough to the stamp and pressed down with my hand until I had the stamp covered. Then I flipped it over and finished pressing it on the cookie sheet! Viola! Sprinkles only on the raised images!
And you know me, as a stamper I can't just GIVE some cookies away. I HAD to package them up all cute! I used some retired ribbons I had laying around and a stamp from Grateful Greetings and our cello bags. It was quick and easy and super cute...I need some kids to do this stuff with, hehe!
I hope everyone likes them!
Wishing you all a merry Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ!
Merry Christmas Mindy! Cute cookies and the way you wrapped them too is cute. Nice Christmas card and hoping you have a successful 2012! Hugs,Bev
