JBK Pottery Terra Cotta Cookie Stamps (Bear)

Bought this to use to keep my brown sugar moist in its storage container. So far so good.

I did not find any problems in using these stamps without handles. Actually, I think it was much easier.Of course it goes without saying that you need the proper cookie dough in order to get a good impression. However, the impression left was not as deep as impressions left by my wooden stamps or even some of my silicone stamps when compared using the exact same batch of cookie dough and in the oven the exact same time.Lightly oil before use and dust flour before each stamp, then using a toothbrush under hot water, clean them up. Easy. However as the headline says, they work, but I have better.

This will be very similar to my review for JBK's non-Christmas cookie stamps. They're identical in construction, materials and method of use.These are well made, and heavy for their size. When you use them as directed the dough doesn't stick and the impression is good. But, there is a learning curve. My first attempt produced shallow impressions on the dough, so I didn't press hard enough. The next attempt, I think I pressed too hard which caused the dough to stick to parts of the impression. Practice and you'll be able to make beautiful cookies with these.Remember that these leave impressions only. They aren't cookie cutters. You'll have to use a similarly sized biscuit cutter after you've pressed the dough or trace around the stamp with a sharp knife.I chose these over some other Christmas cookie stamps I saw elsewhere because I like most of the designs on these.Like the other cookie stamp set I reviewed the impression could have been cut a little bit deeper, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

I primarily use cookie presses for my Scottish Shortbread cookies, and if the design is not deeply cut OR too complex, the small amount these cookies expand, the design disappears. This one worked VERY well!

Just a little small for my big cookies.

The stamp on it is great. I put this in my brown sugar to keep it moist but it ended up growing mold on it. Not great! I never had this problem with my old one my ex accidentally tossed out.

Looking forward to making lots of Bear stamped cookies this fall.

Bought these so my wife and granddaughter could make sugar cookies for Christmas. Not as easy to work with since the shape becomes puffed up during baking. The shape does not tend to be as sharp as you see from the clay mold. Alas, not the same as having the stamp indent into the cookie. They had fun and that is what counts. Would not buy anymore of these for baking.

Image shows up clearly on the cookie.
