Nordic Ware Honey Bee Cookie Stamps

These stamps work best with doughs that hold their shape well, such as shortbread or sugar cookie dough. Avoid recipes with heavy mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, as these will distort the intricate bee impression.

Lightly dust the stamp with flour or dip it in a small bowl of flour before each press. If the dough is too warm or sticky, chill your dough balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before stamping for a cleaner result.

No, these stamps should be hand-washed only. Because they feature wooden handles, submerging them in water or using a dishwasher can cause the wood to warp or crack over time.

Yes, they are versatile enough to use on other pliable materials. Many bakers use them to imprint fondant for cake decorations, pie crusts, or even modeling clay for craft projects.

Apply firm, even pressure until you feel the stamp hit the counter or the base of the dough. You want to press deep enough to create a clear outline, but avoid pressing all the way through the dough.
