Back-to-School Stamped Cookies
Celebrate the new school year with these charming stamped cookies! Featuring school-themed designs and a fun, customizable icing, they make the perfect lunch box surprise.
Equipment
- Clear stamp with school-themed design
- Uninked felt stamp pad
Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp salt
Royal Icing & Decoration
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp meringue powder
- 2 tbsp water
- food-safe gel colors
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour and salt; mix until a soft dough forms. Roll into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough to ¼-inch thick on floured surface. Cut into school-themed shapes. Place on baking sheet; bake 8–10 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely.
- Whisk powdered sugar, meringue powder, and water until smooth and thick. Spread a thin, even layer over each cooled cookie. Let dry completely (about 2 hours).
- Put a small dab of gel color on a flat paper towel or uninked pad. Gently press your clear stamp into the ink, then blot off excess. Carefully stamp onto the dried icing, pressing evenly. Lift straight up.
- Once ink is dry (15 minutes), stack cookies with parchment between layers in a lunch box.
