Two secrets for a perfect result.
Chill the dough
Chill your dough for at least twenty minutes so that it firms up. This step is essential: it makes the cookies easy to release and the pattern easy to imprint. A flawless result, guaranteed.
Never in the dishwasher
Wash your cutter by hand in warm soapy water. The bio-based material we use is safe for you and kind to the environment, but it is sensitive to heat.
Remember to clean it before the first use.
Our cutters are not toys. Always use them with an adult present.

Common questions
Do I need to buy thickness guides to set the dough thickness?
No. One-piece cutters, where the pattern is fixed inside the outline, need an exact thickness: too thick and the pattern doesn't reach the dough, too thin and it cuts through. Ours come in two pieces: the outline cuts, then the stamp is pressed separately, as deep as you choose. A rolling pin is all you need.
What is the ideal thickness for the dough?
About five millimetres. Thick enough for a proper snap, thin enough to bake through in twelve minutes.
Can I freeze the dough?
We don't recommend it: thawed dough changes consistency a little. The biscuits will taste just as good, but the imprint will be far less crisp and the biscuit will spread in the oven. The recipe is made in one go: thirty minutes of prep, a rest in the fridge, about ten minutes in the oven, and it's baked.
How do I store the biscuits?
In an airtight tin, once fully cooled, never while warm, the condensation would soften them. One extra tip: a sheet of kitchen paper at the bottom absorbs moisture. As for how long they keep, honestly: in our house they never last long enough to find out. 😂
How do I clean the cutter?
By hand, in warm soapy water. Never put it in the dishwasher: the bio-based material we use is sensitive to heat. A soft brush for the stamp's lettering, and dry well before putting away.
Is there a gluten-free version?
Yes, we worked on a gluten-free version of the recipe. We found the right balance of ingredients for a biscuit that tastes good and takes the imprint perfectly. The toggle at the top of the recipe switches the ingredients.
How many biscuits per batch?
Twenty, with one whole egg. You can adjust the number of biscuits you want directly in the recipe.
