Fun Food Tools Cookie Stamps are a fun way to decorate cookies. The stamp is carved from high-quality wood and sealed with a durable coat of food grade-oil. The CS cookie stamp leaves a bold 2.5 inch design on your dough. The stamps are ideal for decorating gingerbread, springerle, and shortbread cookies. Additional uses for the cookie stamp include impressions on pie crust, fondant, and clay. Roll out your dough to your preferred thickness and dust your dough with flour. Press firmly around the stamp, the pattern is cut with a slight bevel to ensure the stamp releases easily. If the dough does get stuck in the stamp, gently brush it out and flour the stamp. Hand wash the stamp with warm water. This is a natural wood product. Please don't soak the stamp in water and don't put your cookie stamp in the dishwasher. Given reasonable care, these stamps will last a lifetime or longer.
