Directions:
NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace. - Cut each color block in half and place each piece into a separate beaker. We recommend using one color at a time. After choosing your first color, melt in microwave in 5 second increments.
- Spritz the soap mold cavity with rubbing alcohol and then using a plastic dropper, begin filling the detail with melted color bar. Spritz with rubbing alcohol to pop any bubbles.
- Repeat with remaining colors until mold details are filled. If any soap spilled over you can use a toothpick, or a similar tool, to remove the excess soap.
- Combine 0.50 oz. fragrance oil and 0.25 oz. stabilizer and allow to sit for 2 minutes.
- Melt 16 oz. clear soap with ¼ brown sparkle color block. Stir. If darker color is desired, add another ¼ piece of color. When completely melted, add fragrance mixture.
- When soap is 125ºF, thoroughly spritz each cavity with rubbing alcohol and then begin pouring brown soap. Each cavity should only be filled approximately ½ way to look like cookies.
- If you have any leftover soap, pour it evenly between all cavities. Spritz with rubbing alcohol. Allow to harden completely and then unmold.
- Repeat above steps to make additional soaps.
- Package 2 large cookies and 1-2 small cookies in each cello bag with crinkled paper. Tie with ribbon.
- Label product accordingly.
To Use: Lather with water onto skin. Rinse off. Avoid contact with eyes.
