       This cute and simple doll craft may be adapted for any sized doll. I chose to make this cookie sheet for the 18 inch dolls in our collection. If your dolls have an oven and you would like to make this craft to fit inside it. Be sure to measure the length and width of that oven so that you may cut your own cookie sheets to fit inside of it. You can also may these tiny cookies using air dry clay, paper clay or even salt dough clay. I used Sculpey for the sample project you see here.

Supply List:

• aluminum foil
• tacky white glue
• oven bake clay
• tiny doll sized cookie cutters
• cardboard
• acrylic paints: black, yellow, white, brown
• puff paints: red or pink
• glitter: purple
• Mod Podge (optional)
• hot glue and hot glue gun (optional)

Step-By-Step Instructions:

1. First roll out your oven bake clay into a 1/4 inch slab to cut out tiny shapes for doll sized cookies.
2. Bake the cookies in the oven at 275 degrees for approximately 15 minutes if you use Sculpey clay like mine.
3. While the cookies cool, cut 2 rectangles from cardboard measuring 3"x4"inches. 
4. Cut and glue thin stripes of cardboard to paste around the edges of the cardboard and let these dry.
5. Cut and paste aluminum foil to both sides of each cookie sheet. Press the foil around the edges of your cardboard gently as you go.
6. Take a dry brush and dip it into black acrylic paint. Then rub the brush over a paper towel. You only want a very small amount of black paint on the tips of the brush. 
7. Rub the loaded brush across the surface of the foil to give it an aged appearance. You can also take a dry paper towel and rub it across the cookie sheet to lift the black paint where you don't want it. Let the cookie sheets dry.
8. Now glue the clay shaped cookies onto one of the cookie sheets for display purposes. Leave the other sheet blank so that your dolls will have the option to put some of the cookies onto the sheet during play.
9. Use a very tiny brush to paint the finished cookies with a bit of yellow and brown. Let them dry and then use puff paints to add icing.
10. Before the puff paint dries, sprinkle on some glitter to look like decorative sugar.
11. Mod Podge your finished cookies and sheets to give them some durability.
