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.

- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Pre heat oven to 350° (180°C), line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Sift the flour and cornstarch into a medium bowl.
In a large bowl cream butter and sugar, then add the sifted flour mixture a little at a time, combine with a fork, when mixture begins to come together, move to a flat surface and knead until you have a smooth dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Remove dough from the fridge and roll on a lightly floured flat surface into a thickness of 1/4 inch, dust cookie stamp lightly with flour and firmly press on dough, with a round cookie cutter (as close to the same size as the stamp) cut out cookie. Place on prepared cookie sheet, continue until all our cut out. Bake for approximately 20 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.
