How to make your cookie template

The cookie is a forgiving round shape made from matching front and back pieces. The optional side band makes it look thicker.

Beginner - about 20 minutes

Get these ready

  • *A4 printer paper or light card stock (90-120 gsm)
  • *Child-safe scissors
  • *A ruler and a blunt scoring tool, such as an empty pen cap
  • *Clear tape or double-sided tape
  • *A small amount of tissue paper or soft scrap paper for filling

What to put inside

Use a flat layer of torn tissue across the middle, then one small scrunch in the centre for a puffy cookie.

What to stick with

Use short clear-tape strips around the edge. Add the side band with double-sided tape if you want extra thickness.

  1. 1

    Print both cookie circles

    Print at 100% scale, then add any face or extra chocolate-chip details before cutting.

  2. 2

    Cut the outside ring

    Cut around the solid outside line, keeping the inner fold cue visible.

  3. 3

    Prepare the optional band

    If you want a thicker cookie, pre-fold the narrow side band at its dashed lines.

  4. 4

    Tape most of the circle

    Match the two round pieces and tape around the edge, leaving a small gap.

  5. 5

    Add the tissue filling

    Push in a flat layer of tissue first, then one small loose scrunch for a gentle dome.

  6. 6

    Seal and shape

    Close the last opening, then press the edge softly between your fingers to make the cookie look even.

Print note: Print at 100% scale and cut slowly around the round cookie edge for the smoothest result.

Finish it: Keep the filling away from the outer ring so the cookie edge can stay neat and flat.

Use scissors with adult help when needed. Keep filling light and dry: do not use food, liquid, rice, beads, or anything heavy inside a paper squishy.
