Tips
A cookie stamp (a small, decorative, round or square cookie imprinter, usually made of glass, ceramic or wood) is pressed into a ball of cookie dough, which flattens it and imprints a relief design on the surface.
Cookie stamps come in many designs and are available at specialty kitchenware shops.
If you don’t have a cookie stamp, press each ball of dough with the bottom of a glass.
