These cookies look beautiful and charming like traditional sugar cookies but are made with alternative materials that will not be eaten. They are perfect for decorating your home or as gifts, serving as lovely accents for any Christmas décor. Let’s get started on crafting these stunning faux sugar cookies!

Ingredients Quantity
Air-dry clay 2 cups
White acrylic paint 1 cup
Rolling pin 1
Cookie cutters Assorted shapes
Paintbrush 1
Parchment paper 1 sheet
Faux icing (foam or decorative icing)** As needed
Food coloring (optional) As desired

**Note: Faux icing can be homemade using foam or pre-purchased edible craft supplies.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Work Area: Begin by clearing a clean, flat surface to work on. Lay down parchment paper to protect your workspace from any mess.
  2. Mix and Roll the Clay: Take 2 cups of air-dry clay and knead it until it’s soft and pliable. Use a rolling pin to flatten the clay to about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring an even thickness for uniform cookies.
  3. Cut the Cookie Shapes: Use cookie cutters in your desired holiday shapes (like stars, trees, or gingerbread men) to cut out shapes from the rolled-out clay. Carefully transfer each shape onto the parchment paper.
  4. Dry the Shapes: Allow the cut-out shapes to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 24 hours, depending on the thickness and humidity.
  5. Paint the Cookies: Once the shapes are completely dry, use a paintbrush to apply white acrylic paint to the top surface of each cookie. Make sure to cover all visible areas for a nice, clean look. Allow this layer to dry completely.
  6. Add Detail with Faux Icing: Using either store-bought or homemade faux icing, decorate the cookies with intricate designs. You can pipe the icing using a piping bag or spread it with a spatula. Feel free to get creative with colors—add food coloring to the icing if you want to customize the shades!
  7. Final Touches and Display: After the faux icing has set, inspect your cookies for any finishing touches you may want to add. You can use glitter, additional paint details, or even faux sprinkles for added flair. Once complete, arrange your cookies on a festive platter or hang them as decorations.

  1. Prepare Your Work Area: Begin by setting up a clean workspace. Lay down parchment paper to protect your surface as you craft.
  2. Knead and Roll Clay: Take 2 cups of air-dry clay and knead it until smooth and pliable. Using a rolling pin, roll the clay to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  3. Cut Wreath Shapes: Use a circle cookie cutter to cut out a circular base for your wreath. Guarantee the circle is of a size you prefer for your mini wreath. After cutting, use a smaller cookie cutter to create a hole in the center of the circle, forming a ring shape. Repeat to create multiple “wreaths.”
  4. Dry the Wreath Shapes: Let the ring shapes dry according to the instructions on the air-dry clay packaging. This process usually takes around 24 hours, depending on thickness.

  6. Create Decorative Cookies: After the green paint has set, take your assorted miniature cookie cutters to create small faux cookies from the leftover air-dry clay. You can cut out various shapes to add to your wreath.
  7. Paint the Faux Cookies: Once your miniature cookies are shaped, allow them to dry. When they are dry, use brown acrylic paint to give them a cookie-like appearance. Allow the paint to dry again completely.

  11. Attach Ribbon or Twine: Finally, take a piece of ribbon or twine and tie it into a loop. Puncture a small hole at the top of the wreath and securely attach the ribbon as a hanger.
