Cookie squishy guide
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.
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
Print both cookie circles
Print at 100% scale, then add any face or extra chocolate-chip details before cutting.
- 2
Cut the outside ring
Cut around the solid outside line, keeping the inner fold cue visible.
- 3
Prepare the optional band
If you want a thicker cookie, pre-fold the narrow side band at its dashed lines.
- 4
Tape most of the circle
Match the two round pieces and tape around the edge, leaving a small gap.
- 5
Add the tissue filling
Push in a flat layer of tissue first, then one small loose scrunch for a gentle dome.
- 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.
