soapermom Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 this is the recipe I use right now, ( its changed several times with tweeking) this one is working well for me.2 Cups Baking Soda1 Cup Natrasorb Bath1/2 Cup citric acid1 Cup Epsom Salt1/2 cup tapioca pure 5 0z melted Cocoa butterscent and color as desiredMix all dry ingrediants, add color ands cent to melted cocoa butter then add to dry ingrediants. Work cocoa butter in well by hand , you should have a play doh like consistancy. Roll or pat mixture out onto counter or work surface. Let rest a minute, it will puff a little and dry a little and make cutting easier.Cut with cookie cutters into desired shapes. Allow to dry in single layer for 48 hours.you can make a "browned" baked look by brushing on liquid color, or tinted cocoa butter, you can embellish as desired to resemble any cookie you like. tinted cocoa butter chips or beeswax can cover a multitude of of accessories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 48 hours! ahhh, man!I just tried a different recipe this morning, I balled them up thinking they would flatten...now they're just mounds of dough. Off to try a new method! Thanks soapermom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off to try a new method! Thanks soapermom! I have been playing with bath cookies for a year now, trying to get away from the original bad idea with the goopy egg, knowing there had to be another option.. I tried a baked version, and couldn't get it just right without being too dry and brittle. I just keep on playing:yay: I like the challenge.

ladysj Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Thank you for posting this. I don't have tapioca pure not even sure what it is lol Is there something that can be subbed for this? I have dry flo, and a pure gel cornstarch type powder. I guess I can just try this and see how it works huh. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I believe you could switch it with corn starch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatreats4u Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 ok i feel dumb...whats Natrasorb Bath i dont have that or tapioca pure..never heard of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapermom Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 I believe you could switch it with corn starch. yes you can.. I use both... the natrisorb bath and tapioca pure arent much different different from each other, both made from tapioca starch and same INCI-tapioca starch. I do find the natrasorb bath seems to hold more oil.. maybe the modification , the fact its broken down further into the maltodextrin or whatever makes it better for that?? the tapioca pure or cornstarch, whatever you wanna use is basically filler.

Hibiscus Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Can shea butter or coconut be used instead? does it have to be a hard oil or can a soft oil be used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Sure you can sub, but you'd have to play with the amounts really to see how much you can form them into cookies & such.I did some with TRO, Rosehip & Cocoa Butter...they're hard as rocks, but I eve added in some water to help with the dough like consistancy I wanted. I was hoping they'd flatten more, but they're still like dough balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 When I made these I didn't have a play doh like consistency. How do I get it to that consistency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
