These cookies are very easy and quick to make. No kneading, no mixing, no rolling out and even no baking !
All you need are a few easy to get materials and a hole punch : Craft foam or cork sheats can be turned into these easy cookies.
Just punch out a lot of them over a small container.
To decorate them I place them on a piece of double sided sticky tape. Do not press them down or you will never get them off again just put them down gently so they stay in place while you decorate.
For the decorations you have many options : glass paint, puffy paint, snow paint, pearl paint all will look pretty awesome. Tip : brown glass paint makes your cookies look nice and shiney.
Sesame seeds make great nuts. Poppy seeds, semolina and mustard seeds will look nice too. Grated cork(, if you buy it from a shop it is called model railroad gravel but with a nutmeg grater you can easily make your own ) will look like chopped nuts. No hole beads are a lot of fun to use as well.
And if you happen to have some nail art stickers, do use them too.
If you have some paperpunches in different shapes you could try those as well . But most of mine could not cope with the cork or the craft foam.
So in stead I used some card board. The tree and heart shaped cookies are cardboard. I added some glass paint to make them look nice and shiny and then I decorated in the same way as the little cookies. If you want a thicker cookie you can glue several layers together.
