Anyway.. About 2 weeks ago Stampin Up send me a free cute little white box with the Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps in it. I was already thinking, who can I give this too this Christmas. because I was not planning on using them at all..
Then my daugther came in this morning and asked me 'What are these mom?' while holding them in her hand.. 'Well..' I said.. (I was thinking very fast in my head.. I could say.. 'I don't know..' and 'Why did you open that little box?'.. Or I could tell her the truth and tell her that they were cookie stamps... but then I knew what would happen... Her eyes would go wide and her cute little voice would ask me to make cookies with her.. ) So guess what happened.. Yip.. baking cookies it was.
There was actually a recipe for the cookies included in the box.. Stampin Up must have been thinking of me. I looked through it and yes there was no excuse.. we had all the ingredients in our house.. 'Okay, okay let's give it a try!' I said and she ran to the bathroom and said. 'Jippie! I am going to wash my hands mom!' She was so excited..
So I .. I mean, we were going to make some cookies..
We had to make sure that the dough wasn't sticky. Dough that is sticky will cling to the recessed areas of the stamp.
This is what I learned today!
- I am never to old, to try out something new (smile)
- Cookies are fun to bake and wow, does it ever smell good in our home!
- Cookie recipes without leavening (such as baking powder or baking soda) will result in the sharpest images. Cookie recipes with leavening will rise, causing the image to become less distinct.
- With this recipe we were able to bake about 30 cookies.
- My daughter was so proud of me / us.. Love that!
- and last but not least, they tasted so yummy!
Have a fun day and I hope I encouraged you to do some baking :) I would love to hear how yours turned out!

Oh wow Pauline, they have come out amazing. I might have to give that recipe a try, as mine never come out so lovely. Now if only Stampin' Up Australia would bring out those cookie stamps here, then me and the kiddies would have a great time.
