❖ The rst step is to gure out what theme you are
making cookies for.
❖ Next, you must pick out which cookie cutters you
will use.
❖ Then, using paper or an electronic device that you
can draw on, draw designs for each cookie as
accurately as possible. This allows you to plan for
the colors you need and how many of each design
you will bake. 7

1. Using the worksheet given, draw a simple design for each cookie cutter.
2. Once that is done, take play-doh and atten it with your hand. Choose one cookie cutter
and cut out a cookie shape from the play-doh. Place it on foil (in place of parchment
paper) and bring it to the teacher so it can “bake”.
3. Once you receive your baked cookie from the teacher, bring it to your table and use the
outline consistency to outline the cookie or a certain area (bags with black band), and
then ll it with the ood consistency icing (bags with white band).
4. Use outline consistency icing to add details to your cookie and complete your design.
