How to use sugar cookie stamps? ›

Dip your stamp into flour and tap off the excess.

Once the dough has chilled, let it warm up at room temperature until it's just pliable (about 5 to 10 minutes).

Chilling the dough is a key step in making sugar cookies, especially when you're making cut-outs. Even if you're tight on time, make sure to get the dough in the fridge, or even the freezer, even if it's only for a little while. Skip this step, and the dough will be sticky, and much harder to work with.
