How to Make Square Cookies or Biscuits:

1. Bit of tan or light yellow clay kneaded until smooth.
2. Put the clay into the pasta machine and roll out a 1/4 inch thick slab.
3. Use your straight edge guided by a ruler to make nice edges on your clay strip.
4. Use a ruler to measure out 1 inch squares and cut.
5. To scallop the edges- use your toothpic vertically ( hold like you would a pen)
to the sides of the square. Leave space between dimples. Repeat this entirely around the edge.
Use your finger to gently form the "tab" into a soft edged rounded shape.
6. If you are going to use as a charm or pendant, now is the time to insert an eyepin.
7. To add texture to your cookie try using the toothbrush pounced gently across the surface
of the cookie.
8. Using the toothpick add tiny decorative holes around the outside of your biscuit or cookie.
9. Scratch the surface of your brown chalk. Very lightly dust the bottom edges of your cookie.
10. Bake according to the directions on your polymer clay package.
11. Wait until the clay has cooled then you can begin to create chocolate dipped effects, etc.
