Ingredients
 

Instructions
 

  • Make the chocolate cookie dough as instructed in this stamped cookies post.
  • Prep a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper or baking paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to an even thickness of 1/4 inch, using a little more flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking.
  • Using any shape cookie cutter, cut as many cookies as you can, and place them 1-2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Gather up the scraps, roll them out again, and continue cutting cookies.
    Using a 2 1/2 inch round fluted cookie cutter, I was able to cut 20 cookies.
  • Now organize your snap together letter embossers, and gather the letters you need for the names you're spelling. Be sure to check that you're spelling everything correctly.
    When you're ready to stamp the cookies, dip the letter embossers in flour and tap off the excess. Press down on the cookies just deep enough to leave a clear impression, but don't press so hard that you press through to the other side.
  • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Bake the cookies on the center oven rack for about 12 minutes (if your cookies are larger or smaller, they may take more or less time to bake).
  • Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then gently transfer to a cooling rack.
  • While the cookies are warm, whisk together the icing ingredients until smooth, then use a pastry brush to brush a thin layer of icing over the cookies, being sure to get enough into the embossed letters. Before the icing sets (it sets and dries very quickly), you can add a few sprinkles or sparkling sugar.
  • Let the cookies cool and dry completely before storing in an airtight container.
