Notes

Stamped cookies don't work with any kind of dough, I find the sugar cookie dough to be the best at keeping its shape and the stamp well defined during baking.
Sugar cookies don't tend to spread in the oven, unless the recipe isn't followed well and ingredients are missed/swapped. Even so, you need to be firm when stamping the cookies, so the shape is nice and clear.
