It’s the perfect touch for your mishloach manos. Making cookies with a cookie stamp allows you to personalize a message and add an edible item all at once.
Did you ever use a cookie stamp? Once you see how fun it is to personalize your sugar cookies, you might not need any other cookie cutters in your baking bin. It’s just what you need for your mishloach manos. It’s classy for your own packages. It’s cute for your kids. It’s low-cost, edible, and adds that perfect, personal touch you were looking for.
You might just find yourself using your cookie stamp all year long for all occasions, not only before Purim!
To start, you’ll need a great sugar cookie recipe. We have one here. This sugar cookie dough has been on Between Carpools since 2016. It’s a classic sugar cookie that’s tried-and-true that we’ve been turning to for a decade! Note that the recipe is very large. You can halve it, but you might need the whole thing if you’re making a lot of cookies. When it comes to sugar cookies that come out consistent and neat, we do recommend sticking with a classic margarine-based dough like this one vs. an oil-based dough.
As far as the cookie stamp itself, it’s easy to use! The stamps come with letters; simply slide them into the cookie cutter to personalize your message.
Just because you’re using a stamp doesn’t mean your cookie shape needs to be generic. If you want to use a shape that fits your theme, you can also stamp cookies of other shapes with a message using embossing sets like this one.
Once your stamp is set up, simply press it into the dough like you would with any cookie cutter.
The stamp creates a message that’s clearly legible and remains so through the baking process.
Your cookie can simply say Happy Purim or include your family name. For the most crisp details, dip your cutter in flour before pressing!
This dough keeps its shape well even without refrigeration.
Your cookies are ready for wrapping!
You can take your personalized cookies a step further with these custom face-shaped cookies. Everyone will definitely know who this mishloach manos came from!
