2 cups of Sea salt or rock salt
1/2 cup Baking soda
1/2 cup Cornstarch
2 tbs of Almond oil
1 tsp Vitamin E oil
1-2 eggs
6 drops Essential oil

Makes 10-12 cookies depending on size.

These bath cookies make fantastic gifts any time of the year.

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Cut the cookies out with cookie cutters or flatten balls to form a cookie shape.

Bake at 350'F (180'C)for 10-12 minutes.
Allow to cool.

Use 1-2 per bath by adding them to running water.

Wrap these inair tight packaging or seal them in an airtight container. These cookies will last several months maybe longer.

I really REALLY want to make these.
Bummer that I don't have all the ingredients on hand so it'll be awhile before I can whip these up
but I'd love to give them to my ladyfriends next time we can all get together.

Might recommend using an older bowl, or reusing a container that margarine, sour creme or somesuch came in because the essential oils may not come clean and
likely are not safe for consumption. Better safe - and all that. It'd be best to just have something you can toss out after the fact and cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil.

That's true sugar. Now I have one bowl that I use for this and I don't ever use anything else in it nor do I put it in the dishwasher. I wash it clean and dry it and keep it in a plastic bag. You can make these and put them in the little metal cookie tins wrapped up with some colored paper for Christmas. They are just darling to give away and who does not love a good hot bath!!!

Exactly - bath stuff is like the go-to gift and since it's homemade it's more personal.

kind of off topic but i had just skimmed the topic and wasn't sure if you ate them in a bath or if it was for a bath. anyways. i finally found out they are for the bath (i think) which brought me to another thing. Oil candles when melted completly will sometimes light the oils on fire. So now bath candles. you have them in your bath? WTF??????????????? if they all melt around you then BAM!!! hole bath is on fire! so it's something different for bath candles? Either way. Why do you have candles in your bath?!?!?!?! any who. you put the cookies in the bath. odd. im gonna make an oreo shampoo! eek xp

But the fire hazard is half the fun..... I should try this some day. One of my friends likes to take really super long baths, and another one just loves these kinds of things.

And I thought this was going to be about actual cookies that you could eat... hehe
