Stamp cookies are made with messages for Santa to read on Christmas Eve! Make the sugar cookies with shortening for a thick and light texture,
Santa will be here before you know it! This year I’m making sugar cookies stamped with messages to help the big guy get through the night. They’re the perfect gift for the man delivering all the presents!
With so many stops to make, Santa needs all the fuel he can get. His favorite cookies are of course sugar cookies. The thicker and lighter the cookies, the better. They will go down easy with a glass of cold milk!
This recipe for stamp cookies creates the perfect texture thanks to Crisco shortening. The soft cookies are light, but with a thick, flavorful texture. I mean, look at the difference the shortening makes compared to butter!
The cookie dough is perfect for stamping too. Just roll out a ball of dough and flatten it with the stamp. The messages serve as good moral support for Santa when he delivers presents, don’t you think?
If you want to give Santa a gift, place the cookies in a goodie bag and tie it with a bow. It’s also a good way for him to take his treat on his sleigh. After all, he is a busy man and has a lot of houses to visit!
The cookies are also a thoughtful gift to give to neighbors and friends during the holidays. The recipe makes about two dozen cookies so there is plenty to share. Everyone deserves a sweet treat this time of year!
As you get ready for Santa to arrive Christmas Eve, add stamp cookies to your baking list. This recipe makes the best sugar cookies and the man in red will absolutely love them!
