Indulge in Barbie-themed Cookies, featuring a transparent plastic window similar to that found in a Barbie Box!
In a fun twist on traditional cookie decorating, a new project has emerged that allows you to create Barbie-themed cookie boxes. This project is not only enjoyable but also serves as great practice for making larger cookie houses during the holiday season.
The cookie boxes are made using sugar cookie dough dyed pink, gelatin plastic, and royal icing. The front panel of the cookie box is larger than the back panel, with an additional 1/4 inch at the top and bottom for added stability. The window in the front panel has a 1/2 inch margin along the top and sides, a larger space along the bottom, and a rounded section in the left hand corner to create a charming appearance.
To create the cookie panels, roll out the pink sugar cookie dough, cut out the shapes using cardboard patterns, and chill them before baking at 350°F for the least amount of time listed in the recipe. The gelatin plastic, used for the front panel, is made by dissolving gelatin in water, avoiding stirring too much, and letting it dry for 1-3 days.
Once baked, the cookie panels are constructed by attaching the side panels to the back panel using stiff royal icing, and then adding the front panel with the gelatin plastic on top. A mini round cookie, fondant, or candy wafer can be added to the top left corner of the Barbie box to complete the look.
Barbie, made entirely of royal icing, can be found inside the box, allowing for customization of features and clothes. The Barbie figure on the back panel is also created using royal icing. For those who wish to add a personal touch, the recipient's name can be written on the front panel.
This Barbie cookie project can be used to celebrate the launch of a new Barbie movie or to host a Barbie party. For those seeking more inspiration, a Barbie-inspired hair clips tutorial is available.
While specific information about the origin of the recipe for Barbie costume cookies is not readily available, the search results do not deter enthusiasts from enjoying this creative and delicious DIY project. So, gather your ingredients and get ready to create some magical Barbie-themed cookie boxes!
