culinary rabbit holes

kaberettOne of the gifts I received for my birthday was the Ottolenghi Sweet cookbook (a selection of online recipes). I'm faintly embarrassed by the extent to which the soft gingerbread cookies with rum butter glaze are precisely my #aesthetic, which obviously (obviously) means that I desperately need cookie stamps.
(I don't. I have an entire cupboard full of bakeware. All of it does get used, but also, I have an entire cupboard full of bakeware plus the heavy-duty baking sheets that don't fit anywhere plus the like three different rabbit moulds I inherited from the mouldering ancestral pile; I do not need more rare-use high-space-occupancy baking bullshit.)
As best I can tell, the specific pictured (beautiful!) cookie stamps are largely those produced by Nordic Ware, a US company that sells sets at something like forty quid for three (plus! shipping!) where I... really only want one or two stamps from most of the relevant sets, because I am a parody of myself and also utterly captivated by the photographs illustrating this recipe in the book.
It is a problem.
