Prepare and cut your cookies to whatever shape that best fits your rubber stamp(s). Bake and let cool completely. Frost with royal icing and let dry overnight.

Put a small amount of food coloring into a shallow bowl or plate. Using a small flat-head paint brush (or a cotton swab) brush the ink onto the rubber stamp being careful not to over-saturate.

Hold the inked stamp on the edible paper for 2-3 seconds. Gently peel away.

Trim off any excess paper and affix to the cookie with a dab of corn syrup. Let dry completely.
