We used t make the large cookie stamps with the decorative handles, but we haven’t sine 2001 or so. I don’t have any that I could sell, but I’m sure you can find things on e-Bay. I am always amazed by how much Brown Bag they have up. I didn’t know there was a book!

I’m glad you like the new stamps. All stamp handles are the same fluted shape as the Christmas ones, but glazes are different for each series. The Heart stamps have a lavender glaze, and the Celtic/British Isles stamps are muted green. The previous stamps with the figured handles were fun , but some were a little hard to use. Personally, I prefer the simpler shape of these new ones.

Both sets of stamps have been available only since Monday, January 23, so I don’t think any stores have them in stock in any quantities yet. Sweet’n Fancy in New Jersey does have a pretty good supply of Hearts, and they should get in their order of British Isles stamps the first week in February. Check the “Find A Store” tab for New Jersey for contact information.

Happy baking,
Lucy

Lee Valley Tools in Canada carries the Thistle Pan, and they do mail order. That would probably be your cheapest route, since you are in Ontario. They do not, however, carry British Isles. Amazon or a number of our other stores would probably send you a British Isles Pan for a little higher shipping charge. Check the “Find A Store” tab at the bottom of the Home Page. You can then go through stores to contact.

Best of luck,
Lucy

Thank you

My very best,

I have 4 of your pans and a cookie mold, and my 7 year old grandson just loves to make the cookies. I am a hospice nurse, and these cookies make easy and lovely gifts to take to my families at Christmas. It brightens their holiday and elicits many stories of the old timey Christmases they had in their youth. Thank you so much for making these!

Click on the “Find a Store” tab. There is a list of retailers by state. There’s also a section of mail-order/web sources, as well. Actually, many of the stores are willing to do mail-order.

Good luck,
Lucy

The problem is that this particular recipe creates all this sugar and syrup on top that causes the bread to stick to the pan. You are supposed to loosen it from the sides with a knife and then it also says to bang the pan on the board if it doesn’t come out. I had both a square pan and the round heart pan and the round in particular was really poorly suited for this recipe, as it was very hard to get a knife in and around the shape, although both pretty much failed to release the bread in one piece. Regular shortbread is not the issue, it’s this particular recipe that I believe is just not well suited for this type of pan, where it’s really hard to get the sides cleanly released from the sugar.

Try the Bakers Catalog from King Arthur Flour.You’ll need to go on line, but I think they should have some Reindeer Pans. I know they carried them in their retail store, and I think they have them on their website. sweetnfancy.com would be another place to check.

Good luck,
Lucy
