Instructions
Prepare the cookie cutters by wrapping the backs in foil. Be sure to leave about 1" lip of foil around outside of the cookie cutter.
Cut the soap base into 1/2" squares. Place about 3/4 cup of soap squares into measuring cup.
Add a couple drops of soap dye.
Place in microwave on high for 13 seconds.
Allow the melted soap base to sit for about 2 minutes before pouring.
Pour soap base into the cookie cutter mold. Allow to set for about 30 minutes. (Placing in the freezer will shorten the setting time).
Peel foil off of cookie cutter, remove extra soap and gently push the soap out of the cookie cutter mold.
