Geo Cast Cookie Stamps

These are so cute! One of my favorite cookies to bake when it gets warm out are lemon lavender cookies and I feel like these are a perfect little spring/summer-y addition to them from one of my favorite bakeware brands. They're relatively easy to clean and easy to use but I will say they did take a few screw up cookies before I got the hang of it. I was either using too much pressure and squishing them or not enough at first, as you can see in the pictures. They're very sturdy and feel well made. I didn't think I'd use them as much as I do but it's hard to not want to stamp everything you bake with a little bee once you get them!

I'm baffled that there are no reviews for these stamps! They refer to them as heirloom stamps and they most certainly are! They are quite beautiful and extremely well made. I'm honestly tempted to order another set so my girls don't fight over them when l am gone. Lol! The designs are simple and elegant and give just that extra wow factor to your cookies. I greatly appreciate how the Nordicware designers achieve such elegance the way that they do. Their artists have such a sophisticated talent! I purchased these to make our own pretty sandwich cookies (think Oreos and they are slightly larger than an Oreo, so perfect!). They do need to be lightly greased to prevent them from sticking to the dough. Directions are on their box along with a nice recipe for peanut butter cookies. (Updated 2020, I purchased two more sets. Geo and Honey Bee sets. Same superb quality, same high recommendations from me.) The directions on the box are as follows: "1. Apply a light coat of oil to each stamp using a pastry brush or nonstick spray. Reapply oil if cookie dough begins to stick to stamp. 2. Hand wash only. Never submerge wooden handles in water. Wipe clean. 3. We suggest making cookie dough from scratch when using cookie stamps. Cookie stamp impressions will not be as defined if using prepackaged cookie mixes or refrigerated dough." Although they don't mention it, I would also add that you should condition the wooden hands every year or so. A light coat of walnut oil or mineral oil (super cheap from the pharmacy) would be a smart idea. Wood shrinks over time if it dries out. If you oil them once a year (No need to do more often then that- I have it marked on my calendar to condition all wooden things in my house once a year.), they really will last a lifetime, if not a few lifetimes! They are a joy to use and a joy to own. I'm glad I ordered them despite the lack of feedback from other users. They were nicer than I even imagined they would be. You won't regret purchasing them!

These stamps are really sturdy. Good quality of this product.

I used the recipe on the box to test the stamps. This is my experience: 1. The recipe suggests roll dough into 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoon ball and press the stamp on it till the edge cut through. Seems easy but really not. Because the dough stick to the stamp and hard to release from it. I knocked the stamp on the table to loosen the cookie so that it either fall from the stamp or I could peel it carefully out of the stamp. This process not only takes takes a lot of time but yield deformed or stretched cookies. 3. I roll the dough out to 1/8” and stamp the dough and press hard till stamp cut through the dough. Peel the dough around the stamped cookies and carefully transfer cookies the the cookie sheet. It is important to brush the stamp with flour EVERYTIME before stamping to avoid dough sticking to the stamp. Refrigerate cookies about 10 minutes before baking. 4. There are other type of cookie stamps of round shapes I purchased. I also used the recipe on their box to test the stamps. I roll the dough out to 1/4” instead of 1/8” and found it a better thickness for the stamp. I also use 3” cookie cutter to cut out the cookies after applied the stamps. Using 3” cookie cutter has two advantages: (1) easier to peel excess dough away from the cookies. (2) cookies has clear cut edges, much prettier.

I have not used these molds yet. But as received they were a bit disappointing. Here is what I saw and received. The molds themselves look okay. the impressions are not as sharp as I would like and two of the molds had minor imperfections in them - not worthy of returning, but nonetheless not as they should be. Two of the molds came with the handles off (This issue has been mentioned by several others- just have a really good glue that sticks to multiple surfaces handy). They are press fit handles, but clearly these two NEVER fit well to start with, but they were shipped. Again, not quite the quality I would like to see. So, those two are currently in my shop with the re-glued handles currently curing. The handles themselves look functional and should work ok. The press fit just did not fit well at all. Net, a mid to low end springerle mold. While serviceable and I'll keep, I will also probably buy higher end expensive molds next time.

I love baking, and these cookie stamps really make my cookies stand out! People always ask where I got them. The stamps are well-made, and the dough doesn’t stick to the ridges, just a light dusting of flour (which doesn’t leave any residue) does the trick. Great design for peanut butter cookies without the hassle of a fork. They’re a great size, easy to clean with a kitchen brush, and although they’re a bit pricey, they’re absolutely worth it.

These cookie stamps are both beautiful and well crafted, they are a larger stamp than I expected which is a good thing. These seem like they will last a lifetime with proper care and are definitely the highest quality cookie tools I own.

Once you get the hang of these they are amazing, A chilled stamp and dough balls rolled in sugar using cold dough the stamp a beautiful cookie, sharp lines, there is a technique in Nordic Ware has a great video I suggest you watch it it will help a ton I would buy these again in a minute.

Son la compra ideal, robustos, como los de antes y sobre todo que duran para toda la vida. Con el buen cuidado y el buen uso pueden durar muchísimos años. Los he comprado para mi abuela, ella tiene los suyos desde hace 52 años y aun están impecables. Se ha emocionado mucho y las galletas hechas con el corazón y modeladas con los sellos no tenían igual. ❤️

Beautifully crafted cookie stamps. Excellent quality. I will be using these for gifts in the run up to Christmas. Great service from the seller, the items were despatched quickly. Thank you

Marca bem a massa de biscoito e não gruda a massa .

Die Stempel sind wirklich sehr praktisch. Kekse backen geht so viel schneller. Einfach kleine Kugeln Rollen, aufs Backblech und stempeln. Ich mache immernoch Frischhaltefolie um den Stempel herum, damit der Teig nicht am Stempel kleben bleibt. Die Stempel funktionieren sehr gut für alle Rezepte, bei denen man sonst ausstechen würde. Der Teig sollte also beim backen nicht seine Form verlieren.

I bought 2 sets of cookie stamps and they came in good shape and quality. I have not tried using it but it was a great gift and good for baking. Can't wait to try it.
