    Preparing stamped cookies is so easy and fun at the same time!

    I used the cookie stamps with the Albertle cookies from South Germany, Bavaria.

    The Albertle are Christmas cookies which are defined by spices and a design on the cookies surface. 

    I tend to use the same recipe all year round too with different cookies stamps.

    Learn how to make stamped cookies & the Albertle cookie dough further below in the step by step recipe instructions with pictures.

    Albertle cookies are a common sight in most homes in Bavaria.

    In Austria they can be seen in certain places, however they are not part of the traditional cookie making process during the Advent time.

    These delicious stamped cookies are quick, easy and fun to prepare, especially with kids.

    That's why the popularity is rising constantly for the humble Albertle cookie.

    The origin of the name "Albertle" is kind of an open question mark.

    I checked around online and asked some people from around Augsburg city, nobody had a clue how that cookie was given the name Albertle

    Hope remains!

    Maybe a reader might turn up, who can contribute with a story around the Albertle cookie.

    How to stamp cookies?

    The cookies itself is made with some common ingredients including all purpose flour, corn flour, egg, sugar and baking powder.

    I like to add vanilla bean seeds, some cardamom and cinnamon powder to give the stamped cookies the extra edge.

    Long a trend in the US & Canada, stamped cookies have caught up in Europe, Asia and the rest of the world, thanks to popular shops and discounters selling those cookie stamp sets.

    Preparing stamped cookies can be so much fun, even for grown ups!

    They are easy to prepare and you can't mess anything up.

    I mean, just cut out and stamp the cookies and you have THE perfect looking cookie, which makes great gift material.
