Letterpress Cookies

 
I found  this lovely Letterpress Cookie Set at the online store Yuppie Chef, and we tried them out on these heart shaped Cookies for Valentines Day.  The set comes with three cutters in different shapes and all the letters of the alphabet, as well as a few sayings already spelt out for you.  All you have to do is fit the letters into the cutter and press down into your cookie dough, and voila its printed on your cookie.

This recipe is great because the cookie dough doesn't spread out when baking, so the letters stay visible once baked.  Its a lot of fun, but if you dont have the letterpress, cut the cookies into your favorite shapes, or make into bite sizes tastes to serve with your tea or coffee.  They keep well for weeks in an airtight container.
