Equipment
Rolling Pin
2 1/2" Pastry Cutter
Christmas Cookie Press Snowflake Design (or other if you wish)
Straw or Knitting Needle for making a hole
Ingredients
1
cup
plain flour
½
cup
salt
¼ - ½
cup
warm water
white acrylic paint
greaseproof paper
ribbon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 100C
In a bowl mix together the salt and flour.
Add in 1/4 of a cup of warm water and mix. If the dough is not forming then add in a little more water.
Whilst in the bowl squeeze in some white acrylic paint and knead thoroughly. We used two large squirts to get the white dough.
Turn out onto a surface and wash your hands and bowl immediately.
With a rolling pin roll out the salt dough to around 1/2cm thick.
Now using the pastry cutter cut out some circles with the none-fluted edge.
Roll out and use the excess to create more gift tags.
Once you have all the dough used with the cookie press stamp in your snowflake (or other design) onto each cookie.
Wash this immediately after use so that any acrylic residue will not remain.
With a straw place a hole in each gift tag.
Place onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.
Put the tray into the oven for 1 hour.
Check that the salt dough gift tags are dry. If they are remove and allow to cool.
Thread ribbon to attach to the gifts for Christmas presents.
