There's a new kid(s) on the block~



Triplets actually~L'Arc De Triomphe~ La Tour Eiffel~Sacré Coeur~



A new French Tampons set.. 3 in a box..  one main wood stamper and 3 heads..
Un Coup De Coeur ♥ for me..found at Isa's~Our very own QC..cookbook author:)

Considering this may be as close as I get to Paris apart from visiting blogs I love that revolve around Paris..and my latest favorite Netflix show.."Engrenages"..(Spiral)..
I will  make believe I am enjoying Paris while baking these:)

 These are perfect at Tea Time~






You can basically use the recipe you love..There are so many that suit themselves to these cookie stamps..
A booklet comes with the stamps..
Cute packaging as always~


From Amazon.ca ..French side:)

Shipping will take long..but do not be discouraged..not as long as the site states..Well for me it was not..nor for Isa~
But I have heard..and they warn you:)

I love these little cookies so special~...

I have posted the recipe I used before..many moons ago..I didn't use one from the book..but I will as there are chocolate ones and savory ones as well and the book is too cute..
So well done..I love Marabout/Hachette collaborations~
I used one(almost identical) I had found at Binôme Gourmand.
With very slight differences..
You can see the post here~

La Recette~

150 grams softened butter
250 grams sugar
vanilla
3eggs
250 grams self rising flour
250 grams flour
salt(I use salted butter so I don't add)

beat butter and sugar until light  and almost white
add vanilla..
and beat in eggs one at a time..beating well after chaque addition:)
Sift the two flours together and add to the mixture..
Form into a flat disk and refrigerate..at least 1 hr..better all night..
Roll out on lightly floured surface(sometimes I use icing sugar instead of flour) to desired thickness..
If using these stamps..FLOUR  each stamp WELL  before stamping..I then use a cookie cutter to cut around perfectly..(well  not PERFECTLY:)  )..
And then I place the cookies on my Silpat or a baking sheet w/ parchment paper..
I then glaze with the "dorure"..see below..
and REFRIGERATE again..they keep their beautiful shape.
Bake at AP 400 degrees..until nice and golden..

You just have to watch..:)

Again I halved the recipe.. yes 1 1/2  egg easy to do in a bowl first:)

Cool on racks..  and then look..admire and enjoy..
You can use your favorite cookie recipe that holds it's form well..But I suggest a butter cookie.And I love the glazed look and taste.



use the recipe you prefer for sablés~
 I love adding  "dorure"~
..  which is simply..an egg yolk mixed with a bit of water and a touch of vanilla..that you brush on your cookies.. before baking  or refrigerating ..the dorure  gives these the real Sablés Bretons look.

  1. How fun! I'm always on the lookout for a cookie that will hold a design like this. I don't have any cookie stamps, but I'd love to try one out. The closest I've come is working with fancy shortbread molds, but the pretty pattern always fades on me as they bake.

  15. What adorable cookies Monique. What would we do without our Silplat when it's time to bake? Enjoying these would definitely feel like I've been on a quick trip to Paris (don't I wish!)

  16. The heart teacup in your previous post is adorable, Monique. Color, shape AND design. So you!
    I'd love a cup of blooming tea with your sables. So worth the wait for the stamps! The egg wash makes such a difference to the finished cookie.
    Lovely.

  28. I know you won't be surprised when I say that I LOVE these cookie stamps. I looked around a bit but don't see them on Amazon here. I'm going to France next month and might be very lucky to find them there. I enjoy my visits to your blog so very much, Monique. It's always a treat to come by and say hello.

  29. What great tampons! Those cookies look really pretty and so tempting. Perfect with a cup of green tea.

    Cheers,

  30. You are the queen of stamps! I really think you should get yourself an ETSY store and sell them. I love all of your stamps and of course what you do with them. Perfect little cookies and so evocative of Paris... I feel like I'll never get back there!

  32. Bonjour Nana. These look too pretty to eat, but certainly pretty enough to sell... They would be a hit! Too bad I am not a baker. I would be tempted to get my hands on these delightful stamps. Well done. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

  33. The cookie stamps are so nice...wouldn't it be wonderful if they had more forms that you could add to your handle. You could travel the world through cookie stamps. :)

  38. I adore this set of cookie stamps - where can they be purchased? Also, are they smaller than the "homemade" stamp which I purchased after seeing it here on your blog - lol.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Sorry I am late..they can be purchased at AMAZON.ca..chose French..then search for the name on the box:)

    They are smaller than HOME MADE..
    Some people collect jewels..I like cookie cutters:)
