Cookie stamp with cutter - Books with pencil and apple

The classic teacher gift in cookie form: this stamp gives you a little stack of books with a pencil and a red apple on top. You get the stamp and a cutter of about 8 cm in exactly the same shape. A cookie every teacher will recognise straight away.

What does the Books with pencil and apple stamp look like?

A stack of books with a pencil beside it and a red apple on top: the classic image of the teacher. You can give the books, the pencil and the apple each their own colour.

Add the teacher's name with School name plaque, and Three markers and ABC 123 complete the set.

What is in the Books with pencil and apple set?

You get the stamp with a stack of books with a pencil and an apple in relief and a cutter in exactly the same shape. Use the cutter for your cookie dough first and for your fondant after baking, so the fondant always fits your cookie perfectly. Cookies, fondant and the other shapes in the photos are not included.

How do you turn them into a treat for the teacher?

At the end of the school year or on the first day of school, homemade cookies are a gift that always goes down well. The school collection by Le Monde de Mely has bright, cheerful colours that catch the eye straight away. In my teacher gift packaging you will find boxes and bags to give them in.

How do you gift these cookies beautifully?

Give a single cookie in the white cookie box with shop window: the window shows off your fondant straight away. For the whole class, or a gift from all the parents together, place a few cookies in the yellow sweet box with a clear lid or in the white letterbox cookie box. You will find more options in my cookie boxes and in the cookie bags and cookie cards.

How do you use the Books with pencil and apple stamp?

The video next to the photos shows you how it works. In short:

1. Cut out your cookies with the cutter, bake them and let them cool completely.
2. Roll out your fondant to about 3 mm.
3. Press the stamp firmly and evenly into the fondant and lift it off carefully.
4. Cut out the shape with the cutter and stick it onto your cookie with a little water or edible glue.

Tip for this design: Inlay the apple in red with a small green leaf, and the books in two or three different colours. Make the pencil yellow. To inlay several colours, press thin pieces of coloured fondant into the sections of the stamp, trim off the excess and place your base colour on top.

Why Le Monde de Mely?

Le Monde de Mely is a French brand that is hugely popular with cookie bakers: they design all their stamps themselves and print them in their own workshop. At Cupcakedozen.nl you order them together with your cookie boxes, bags and ribbon, all in one order. You will find more designs in my cookie stamps.

Material, food contact and disposal

According to the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, the stamp and cutter comply with Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 and Regulation (EU) 10/2011 for brief contact with food at room temperature. Wash them by hand in warm water and let them dry well; a soft brush gets even the smallest corners clean. PLA can warp in the dishwasher. When the set is worn out after a long time, it goes in general waste (advice for the Netherlands).

Frequently asked questions

Is this also a nice gift for a tutor or lecturer?

Yes. There is no text on it, so it suits every teacher, from primary school to secondary school.

Can I press the stamp into cookie dough?

It may briefly touch cookie dough, but fine details often fade during baking. For a crisp result I recommend fondant of about 3 mm.

How big will my cookie be?

The shape is about 8 cm. After baking, your cookie often turns out slightly larger than the cutter, leaving a pretty edge of cookie visible around the fondant.
