A "dry mixture" (not as much water as
recommended) of Plaster of Paris can be molded into cookie shapes and painted. This will give the surface of the cookie a rough, doughy texture and plenty of crumbs. M&M's or glass beads can be pressed into the sculpted cookie (while it's drying) to add "chocolate chips" or "raisins." I've also seen very realistic cookies sculpted out of upholstery foam (and painted, of course). Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how this was done, but they were very impressive -- even up close. |

this is actually for a school project 1st graders .. we are doing the typical cookies for santa plate ..but we are adding a different spin on it ... we want to put a hand print of the kid.. add a half eaten cookie and crumbs.... and have the kids write on the plate "Santa I can explain...". I want something that can be used as decoration in years to come ..... so this is why I want a good fake.

I have seen very realistic cookies sculpted out wax and some that looked good enough to eat out of the plastecene clay that you can bake. Linda |

for this type, yes, Topper has the idea. Plaster of Paris is most likely what you want. Good luck! |

You can use a salt dough. I have a recipe for in in my Joy of cooking christmas cookies book. it is used to make keepsake cookies. I can't find my book but I know it is a salt dough. you maks the dough and cut it like sugar cookies, after it is baked it becomes hard as a rock.

For little kids I've always found that simple styrofoam works well. Also that spray foam stuff (for filling cracks) but that might not be good for the little ones =) |

I have to agree with Shatcher about the salt dough....it is non-toxic and very durable. There are a lot of recipes for it....try looking on-line for "salt-dough". The only thing I recommend is to use a recipe that includes a small amount of cooking oil.....much better dough.
