Hello! :) I am a professional illustrator & I love to create lovely tools to help make cookies. I design the rolling pins by myself & for each I put all my heart into it :) My rolling pins are made of beech wood, they are deep laser engraved, sanded & cleaned. To stay as eco friendly as a person should - I even design & cut my own shipping cartons from recycled carton. I ship all of the orders outside Poland with FedEx if expedited which makes a few days delivery. Normal shipping time varies from 7 to 20 days :) The size of rolling pin is: Overall Lenght - 400mm (15.8 inches) Working Area Lenght - 200mm (7.9 inches) Please before the first use wash it & coat the rolling pin with olive or vegetable oil. You can wash it in warm water using soft brush & soap, but please dry them before next usage. After cleanup it is good to reapply the oil coating. This is natural wood - you should not wash it in the dishwasher. All of the images are natural & represent the final product, due to wood material the color & shade of laser engraving may differ, but it is only cosmetically, the engravings are equally deep. Inside the package you will find the recipe & the tips how to mantaing good quality of rolling pin. What cookie recipe do I use? - 400g of wheat flour - 70g of powdered sugar - 200g of cold butter - 2 little spoons of vanilla powder - 1 big egg - a pinch of salt Mix all the ingredients, cover the dough with foil & put in the fridge for 60 minutes. Then you can roll out the dough, cut it into shapes, put the cookies into the fridge for another few minutes & then cook them for about 10-15 minutes in warmed up to 190C (374F) oven. The recipe can be found on mojewypieki.com. You are buying only the rolling pin & eventually the cutters as an option, all other items in the photos are props. The dough in the photo is with vanilla - that is where the black dots come from.
