One of the best parts of the holiday season is all the baking that comes with it. From pies and cakes to loaves and cookies, your house can smell like a bakery all day every day. And to make this time of year even sweeter, Joanna Gaines designed a set of cookie stamps that will make your sugar or gingerbread cookies look a bit more seasonal and a lot more impressive!
The , available at Target for $20, come in a set of three stamps, each of which features a seasonal design. One stamp has a waving Santa Claus. Another features a beautiful fair-isle-style snowflake. And the third stamp has a simple yet elegant Christmas tree motif.
The wooden handles make these stamps easy to use and also give them a vintage touch that will make your baking process feel a bit more nostalgic and homey.
Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Christmas Cookie Stamps, Set of 3
These stamps were a hit with Target shoppers last year, so if you didn’t grab them last year, you can finally see what all the hype is about!
If your cookie dough is a stiff one that doesn’t spread much while it bakes, then you can use the stamps on the raw dough before the cookies go into the oven. The before-baking method works best for shortbread or sturdy gingerbread cookie recipes, as well as firmer cookies that have been thoroughly chilled before baking — just make sure to flour your stamps before using them to prevent sticking.
For softer cookie recipes, you can try to use the stamps after the cookies come out of the oven. While they’re still hot and malleable, gently press the stamp into the surface of the cookies before allowing them to cool completely.
Do some experimenting once you get your stamps and make your Christmas baking a bit more special. Your friends and family will be wowed by the results!
