Liberty Bell and Independence Hall | Cookie Mold

This reproduction Dutch cookie mold is inspired by the carved molds used in Europe and the American colonies from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Bakers relied on carved blocks to shape festive biscuits, mark holidays, and add charm to everyday table fare.

This mold features two of the most recognizable symbols of the American Revolution: the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. In the decades following independence, patriotic imagery became increasingly popular in domestic arts, appearing on textiles, ceramics, prints, and carved kitchenware. Designs celebrating the founding generation served as everyday reminders of hard-won liberty and the events that shaped a new nation.

Measuring approximately 5.5 by 3.5 inches, this mold creates a clear, raised impression in dough—ideal for spiced cookies, speculaas, springerle, or other molded treats. A light dusting of flour helps the dough release cleanly, just as historic kitchen guides advised.

Whether put to use in seasonal baking or displayed in a period kitchen, this mold offers a simple gateway into early American culinary traditions and the patriotic spirit that grew alongside them.
