Stamped Shortbread Cookies are a delicious buttery melt in your mouth cookie that makes the perfect Valentine’s Day Treat. Stamped with your favourite message! The kids will love helping you bake these Shortbread Cookies.

Nothing better than a Shortbread Cookie and not just during the Christmas Season.

Shortbread Stamped Cookies

I always loved decorated cookies, even though I am probably one of the worst decorators. So when I see something that is easy and makes things (food) pretty I will grab it.

Just like Spritz Cookies, how cute are they!? When I was in Toronto just after Christmas and I saw these cookie stamps for Valentine’s Day, I just couldn’t resist.

I also picked up a couple of Christmas Stamps that were on sale also. Stamped Cookies are my new favourite cookie.

Helpful tips for making Stamped Cookies.

  • You need to use a dough that does not spread.
  • Make sure to chill your dough at least 30 minutes.
  • Keep your stamp very lightly floured so it doesn’t stick to the cookie.
  • Roll out your dough as little as possible.
  • If your dough starts to warm up pop it back in the fridge to chill.

I think these would make the perfect cookie to make with your kids or grandkids. So fast and easy and they would love deciding on which stamp to use.

Cookie Sheets  These are the perfect cookie sheets and the perfect sizes, great when you have a big batch or even a smaller batch of cookies.

      Should the butter be chilled/firm when mixed into the dry ingredients? Or room temp? Aside from chilling the dough, does temp of the butter when mixing affect how well the dough is able to keep the shape of the pressed stamp?

        Hi Ginger, the butter should be room temperature and make sure you use a high protein flour (at least 12%) that way the stamp will hold and the cookies won’t spread. Also while the oven is pre-heating chill the cookies for about 15 minutes. Be sure to use powdered/icing sugar because this helps the cookies from spreading also. Let me know how it goes.

      These rose when baked so the pattern completely disappeared even when well chilled so they weren’t suitable for the purpose I intended them for. They tasted ok but were a bit greasy.

          Instead of rolling out the dough, can you roll the dough into balls and flatten them?

          Hi Janet, yes that would work also. I hope you like it.
