There are many ways to make tiny cookies for your doll's pretend food sets. I made these from a old mold that once came from a larger set of Playdough toys and oven-bake clay. Just because toy sets are made for you to shape dough with are intended for one kind of clay, such as Playdough, that doesn't mean that you can't shape items with different kinds of clay. Some of the nicest faux doll food in our collection was made by using early childhood dough molds. These tiny cookies look so perfect, you'd think they were mass produced from a factory.
To paint items like these sugar cookies, I usually use acrylic, nontoxic paints. Sugar cookies have many colors in their pale dough, once they are baked in real life. So I dry brush several shades of brown underneath a final coat of ivory before finishing these off with a bright cherry red, faux 'jam' at their centers. I also applied a touch of red puff paint to give added dimension to my doll cookies. You could use purple for grape jam or orange for marmalade if you prefer...
