Chocolate Gingerbread Stamp Cookies

Chocolate Gingerbread Stamp Cookies

Chocolate Gingerbread Stamp Cookies have to be the prettiest cookies out there. Made with a gingerbread dough and pressed with beautiful stamps then glazed to perfection with a vanilla or coffee glaze, these cookies will win your heart in a flash.

It may be post Christmas but it’s never too late to share a cookie recipe in my opinion. Especially when it comes to these little beauties. For two years now I’ve been making these at Christmas time and they are winner every time I roll out a batch. This year the kids school teachers were the recipients of these, wrapped in cellophane with pretty ribbon, sprig of fir and a personalised tag … what a cute Christmas present hey!

Cookie ingredients laid out on a table

It’s cookie time!

I have a confession. I’m not a huge cookie maker. This is obvious when you head to my blog … there aren’t many recipes on it. But what it does mean is that when I have a great recipe that I’m truly in love with … well I want to share that with you. This recipe for my Chocolate Gingerbread Stamp Cookies is one of them.

They are simple to make, delicious to eat and beautiful to look at. The trifecta really when it comes to a cookies.

How to make Chocolate Gingerbread Stamp Cookies

  1. Cream the butter, sugar for a couple of minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the molasses and then the yolk until combined
  3. Sift in the dry ingredients and beat until a dough just starts to form
  4. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness and chill in the fridge for half hour
  5. Cut and stamp. Cut out rounds of the dough and press the stamp into each of the rounds and then bake for 8 minutes.
  6. Glaze. Whilst the cookies are still warm, mix together your glaze ingredients and brush each cookie getting the glaze into all the indents made by the stamp.

Description

Delicious chocolate gingerbread dough rolled out and stamped into beautiful designs then glazed to perfection. The prettiest cookies you ever did eat!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies

90g (1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoon) unsalted butter, at room temperature

100g (1/2 cup) dark brown sugar

110g (1/3 cup) molasses

1 large egg yolk

260g (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour

2 tablespoon cocoa powder

½ tsp baking soda

1 teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon salt

 

Optional (I’m not a fan of these spices but if you are then add these to the mix)

½ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon cloves

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

 

For the Glaze

120g (¾ cup) icing sugar

5g (1 teaspoon) unsalted butter, melted

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon milk (or more if necessary)

Variation: 1 tablespoon of coffee to replace the milk


Instructions

  1. Put your stamps in the fridge or freezer to chill until needed. Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium speed cream together the butter, sugar and molasses for 5 minutes until pale and thick. Add in the egg yolk and beat until fully combined.
  2. Sift the dry ingredients, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, ginger, salt (and optional spices) into the stand mixer bowl and beat on medium until the dough just starts to come together.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and knead it until all the floury crumbles are incorporated. If you find it too dry, then add a teaspoon at a time of milk. Flatten the dough into a disk and on a sheet of parchment paper, roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Transfer cookie dough on the paper onto a baking tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Use a cookie round (slightly bigger than the stamp) and cut out the rounds. Then remove your cookie stamp from the fridge/freezer, dust with flour and press the stamp into each of the rounds ensuring that you don’t press down all the way through.
  5. Transfer the cookies to a lined baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes. You don’t want to over bake these cookies, so do a test cookie or two to figure out the best timing for your oven. The cookies will be soft when you remove them from the oven but will firm up as they cool.
  6. While the cookies are baking, in a bowl, whisk the glaze ingredients together until they become a smooth thin glaze. Add more milk (or coffee) if the glaze is too thick, it should have the consistency of maple syrup.
  7. Put the cookies on a cooling rack and brush them with the glaze while still slightly warm. The glaze will dry in about 15 minutes.

    The best thing about making it to Friday...plannin The best thing about making it to Friday...planning that weekend baking project. And this Earl Grey Creme Brûlée Tart fits the bill. Lightly fragranced bergamot tea custard topped with that signature crunchy shell encased in flakey sweet shortcrust pastry. oh yeah. It’s good. Like really really delicious. And if you can’t be bothered to make the tart- then just make the creme brûlée in ramekins. Link in profile.

Now let’s talk progression- swipe right for my new rhubarb cake images as opposed to two years ago when I initially photographed this recipe. Worlds apart! How did I progress? 
1. Invested in myself by attending @foodtographyschool . I needed help and I turned to an expert for it instead of spending months/years mindlessly searching on u-tube.
2. Practice everyday - think about composition, understand the light you have to work with, know the message you are trying to portray. All skills that you can be taught but it’s up to you to develop them and progress. 
✨
After 18 months of hard graft, I landed a cook book deal. Without learning and then practicing my craft there is no way that dream would have been realised so quickly.
