i’ve been making cookie molds with my CNC machine for 7 years. Couple of tips:
Stay away from cookie dough with egg in it. They cause the cookie to rise and you loose the pattern. Shortbread, Gingerbred, Springerle and Speculass (Dutch Windmill) work really well.
Cold is your friend, after pressing and cutting out put the cookies in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes and then onto a room temperature cookie shut and into a hot oven. the outside will cook and set before it has a chance to slump.
