The Nutcracker pattern (R158) turns plain dough into cookies that look hand-carved. A favourite for Christmas baking, gingerbread season and winter gifts.
The pattern is laser-engraved deep into natural wood, so it stays crisp batch after batch. Use it for shortbread, gingerbread and sugar cookies, or for fondant, marzipan and salt dough.
Choose from three sizes: Small (24 cm) for small hands and small batches, Medium (38 cm) for everyday baking and Large (43 cm) for a whole sheet of dough at once. All measurements are in the Sizes tab.
Engraved in Poland and picked by us for our little shop on Laugavegur 27 in Reykjavík. A thoughtful gift for anyone who loves to bake.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. Cold dough keeps the pattern sharp.
- Roll the dough out flat with a plain rolling pin to about 5 mm.
- Dust the embossing pin and the dough lightly with flour.
- Roll once, firmly and evenly. Do not go back and forth.
- Cut out the cookies, chill them again for 10–15 minutes and bake.
Works best with doughs that do not rise much, such as shortbread, gingerbread and sugar cookies.
