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.
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.

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.
ReplyDeleteSue..if you follow the little tips I added..this recipe should work with most stamps:-)
ReplyDeleteI have the same mold, they are fantastic! And beautiful photos as always!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute cookies. Stamps are so much fun and these are really special...the stamp makes enjoying the cookie special!!
ReplyDeleteEverywhere, traps—of the cookie kind! My favorite :)
ReplyDeleteMonique, these magnificent cookies make me wish I were sitting right beside you, in France.
Preciosas, me encantan.

ReplyDeleteSam

ReplyDeleteThe cookie stamps do it all:)
ReplyDeleteTruly..
I made cookies again today for a neighbor and Noah..and was amazed at how far Cookie Cutters have come..I did the Star Wars ones(W-S)..and the Hello Kitty one..
Imagine..My mom..never had tools like these:)..sure wish I had kept her cutters..her recipe book..the handwritten one..
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.
ReplyDeleteWhat great tampons! Those cookies look really pretty and so tempting. Perfect with a cup of green tea.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Rosa
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!

ReplyDeleteBonjour 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)
ReplyDeleteThe 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. :)
ReplyDeleteI used the one in the WS catalogue
ReplyDeleteEmail me. (My address is on my blog. Right hand side and I will send it to you

I have been eyeing that kit for ages! I just love the cookie stamp and I'm so glad that you think the kit is worth it. By the way, did you know you can have a personalized one made? http://mycookiestamp.com/
ReplyDeleteHi Janice..I did not know.,thank you..I will check it out.
ReplyDeleteHow about our snow:-) ?
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.
ReplyDeleteSorry I am late..they can be purchased at AMAZON.ca..chose French..then search for the name on the box:)
ReplyDeleteThey are smaller than HOME MADE..
Some people collect jewels..I like cookie cutters:)
Thank you!
