Best stamped biscuit recipe help required please

[droverjess]

Please can you help?
I am new from the Uk and have been using this forum while waiting to,join.

I need help to find the BEST recipe possible for stamped cookies, please. the stamp says 'homemade'.

Have tried the custard powder ones from here, with cornflour, they were quite good. Then tried Beatties recipe from here and they spread too much and lost the letters. Tasted good though. Think the egg made them spread.

it's fun experimenting and the family get to eat a lot of cookies but some suggestions from the wonderful Bakers on here would be great. Thanks

Oh that's a hard one. I have a kiss biscuit recipe on here that is great for making shapes, but I'm not sure if the stamping would stay there or not as the do grow a little as well.
Welcome to the forum by the way. Hopefully someone can help you out

[droverjess]

Thanks snappy, look forward to it.

I found these and will try them maybe tomorrow ( depends on weather for gardening and water company for water ( been cut off by day last 2 days) .

Short bread cookies would work I think.

I've got the stamp from the Feast mag, bought it just for that.  Haven't made the accompanying Speculaas recipe yet but I will soon.

Love the look of the Home Made stamp too. 

[droverjess]

Thanks all. I had linked the original post from same blog this morning.

Great minds think alike. Thanks CC and everyone.

Will report later.
