Directions:
1. Download and print the Cookie Kit Template above. Cut out pattern pieces and trace onto corresponding felt colors as follows:
Cookie Sheet - (2) shape A from Smoke, (1) shape A from Thick (3mm) felt
Cookie Dough - (2) shape B from Shortbread
Piping Bag - (1) shape E (large) from Aqua, (1) shape E (small) from Smoke
Cookie, for each - (2) shape C from Toast, (1) shape C from Thick felt
Glaze - Multiples of shapes D from assorted felt scraps
Toppings - Bits from assorted felt scraps
Flip the pattern pieces when tracing the second sheet pan, cookie dough and cookie pieces.
Cut out felt pieces.
2. Place the two pieces of the Cookie Sheet together with right sides facing out. Whip stitch around the perimeter leaving one side open. Insert the thick felt and finish stitching closed.
3. For the Cookie Dough, cut the inner circles on both felt pieces. Pin the two pieces together with right sides facing out. Whip stitch around the outside perimeter first, then all the inner circles and finally the cut out circles.
4. Fold the Piping Bag shape in half lengthwise and whip stitch from bottom to top. Stitch a running stitch around the circumference 1 - 2" from the top. Stuff with Polyfil and pull the running stitch tight to close. Secure with a knot.
5. Fold the Piping Bag Tip in half lengthwise and whip stitch. Add the tip to the piping bag. You could make different colored piping bags for each glaze flavor.
6. Place the two Cookie pieces together with right sides facing out. Whip stitch around half of the cookie, insert the thick felt and finish stitching closed. Repeat for as many cookies as you'd like.
7. Cut out Glazes from different colors of felt. For extra fun, cut round shapes for chocolate chips, little rectangles for sprinkles and any additional toppings you might like!
Now it's time to bake! Make as many cookies as you want and have fun decorating each one with different glazes, toppings and colors.
