You Can Create Delightful Holiday Cookies & Homemade Gifts
Helping You Create Sweet Memories
and Family Traditions Since 1968
Rycraft Cookie Stamps have become a much-loved tradition
in countless kitchens around the world. These adorable hand-crafted clay
stamps follow the Scandinavian and Pennsylvania Dutch tradition of decorating
cookies and cakes with designs from carved stamps. Cookie stamps are not just
for decorating beautiful cookies. They can also be used for making delightful
crafts out of clay and paper.
In addition to terra cotta cookie stamps, Robin Rycraft (left) creates many other delightful terra cotta and white clay products, all of which he personally handcrafts in his ceramics studio in Prescott Valley, Arizona.

The women of Scandinavian countries bake cakes & cookies for special occasions. Traditionally they are decorated with designs made on carved stamps handed down from one generation to the next. These decorated cakes & cookies are offered to friends during the Christmas season, at weddings, christenings, & other festive occasions.
Finished in the same beautiful Delft-blue glaze as befits the Scandinavian tradition, Rycraft Christmas ornaments are available in assorted Christmas designs as well as in the Collector's Annual Dated Christmas designs, the perfect gift for the kids and grandkids to celebrate their births and every Christmas thereafter.
The
annual designs are available for five years before they are retired.
They are available as a 2" Cookie Stamp, or you may order a 2 1/2"
Craft Stamp, a Keep It Soft, or a Christmas Ornament in these designs.
