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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
Enjoy showcasing your beautiful faux sugar cookies this festive season, enhancing your holiday decor with these handmade pieces!

**Note: Faux icing can be homemade using foam or pre-purchased craft supplies.
Cooking Steps Instructions:
- Prepare Your Work Area: Start by organizing your workspace. Lay down a sheet of parchment paper to protect the surface and provide a clean area for crafting.
- Knead and Roll the Clay: Take 2 cups of air-dry clay and knead it thoroughly until it’s soft and flexible. Roll out the clay to approximately 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin for even consistency.
- Cut Out Gingerbread Shapes: Use the gingerbread man cookie cutter to cut shapes from the rolled-out clay. Carefully place each cut-out on the parchment paper to keep them separated.
- Dry the Ornaments: Allow the gingerbread man shapes to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This process typically takes about 24 hours, depending on the thickness and environmental conditions.
- Paint the Base Color: Once the shapes are fully dry, take a paintbrush and apply brown acrylic paint uniformly on the surface of each gingerbread man. Confirm that the paint covers all visible areas completely and allow it to dry.
- Decorate with Faux Icing: Once the base paint is dry, use your faux icing to add decorative elements to the gingerbread men. You can create faces, buttons, or even icing on the edges. Use a piping bag for detailed designs or a spatula for smoother applications. For a personal touch, mix in food coloring for additional colors if desired.
- Attach Ribbon or Twine: After the icing has fully set, puncture a small hole near the top of each gingerbread man or attach a piece of twine or ribbon. This allows the ornaments to be hung on trees or displayed as you wish.
- Final Touches: Inspect your gingerbread men ornaments for any last-minute embellishments, such as adding glitter or sequins. Once satisfied, hang them up or package them as gifts for a lovely holiday presentation!

**Note: Faux icing can be homemade using foam or pre-purchased craft supplies.
Cooking Steps Instructions:
- Prepare Your Work Area: Begin by setting up a clean workspace. Lay down parchment paper to protect your surface as you craft.
- 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.
- 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.”
- 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.
- Paint the Base Color: Once your wreaths are dry, use a paintbrush to apply green acrylic paint to the surface of each wreath. Guarantee the paint is even and covers all visible areas. Allow the paint to dry completely.
- 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.
- 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.
- Decorate with Faux Icing: Use faux icing to decorate your miniature cookies by adding details that resemble frosting. This step allows for creativity; use a piping bag for intricate designs or a spatula for broader strokes.
- Assemble the Wreath: Once all components are fully dry, attach the decorated miniature cookies around the outer edge of the green wreath using faux icing or a glue gun for a secure hold.
- Add Embellishments: Glue faux berries or other embellishments onto the wreath to add extra festive charm.
- 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.
Now your miniature faux cookie wreaths are ready to brighten up your holiday celebrations!
