Guest guest Posted February 19, 2000 Report Share Posted February 19, 2000 Bath Cookies Recipe from The Natural Bath Shop For those who love to bake, these cookies are fun, fragrant, and nonfattening; in fact they are good for your skin. They consist of skin-softening sea salt, vitamin E oil, and eggs. Simply drop one or two of these cookie tablets into a warm bath and relax. 2 cups finely ground sea salt 1/2 cup baking soda 1/2 cup cornstarch 2 tablespoons light oil 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil ( I buy capsule and squeeze the oil out of it ) 2 eggs 5-6 drops essential oil of your choice- chamomile is nice Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the ingredients. Take a teaspoon of the dough and roll it gently into a ball ( about 1- inch in diameter ). Continue doing this with all the dough and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. ( You can decorate the cookies with clove buds, anise seeds, or dried citrus peel if you wish. ) Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, until they are lightly browned ( do not overbake ). Allow the cookies to cool completely. To use: Drop 1 to 2 cookies into a warm bath and allow to dissolve. Store in decorative tin marked BATH COOKIES. YIELD: 24 cookies. Enough for 12 baths. sw wrote: > > > Does anyone have a recipe for bath cookies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2000 Report Share Posted February 20, 2000 Oh my god!! This recipe was lifted from the Toiletries Library to another website, and reposted to the Toiletries List! Too ironic!

I've been there. And all those recipes came from the Toiletries Library, where they were printed first. Word for word, and I know because a couple of mine (albeit the grammar somehow got terribly hacked up, which really bothers me) wound up on that website. And I was not asked permission to post those hacked-up recipes, which I would have gladly given, *and* I also would have corrected the wording--I don't like to come across as being illiterate, because I'm not. This was not an attack on you! If you look at those recipes, and then go to the Toiletries Library (I believe the URL is printed below this message) you will see that those recipes were lifted *verbatim*, bad spelling/grammar and all > . All my point was, was that 1.) It was ironic that those recipes were posted to the Toiletries List, cuz that's where they originated from, and 2.) It's always good netiquette to *ask permission* before you post somebody's page, verbatim, on your page. cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Hi Do these bath cookies dissolve in the bath or do they just sit. I have one recipe and while they are fresh(12-24hrs) they dissolve after that they just lay around on the bottom of the tub.VBG Laraine in Australia.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 Be warned, these bath cookies are truly disgusting. They don't dissolve, they turn into a revolting sludge in your bath water. > Here is the recipe for bath cookies. <SNIP> Eleanor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 > Be warned, these bath cookies are truly disgusting. They don't > dissolve, they turn into a revolting sludge in your bath water. I've been experimenting with bath cookie recipes, and haven't made any yet that I like. They do sink to the bottom without dissolving. I have had to crumble them with my hands and you still get some small chunks. Everytime I modify the recipe, I get closer and closer to a fizzy bath bomb. I tried to make a fizzy bath cookie but it didn't work for some reason. I used 25% citric acid, like is used with bath bombs, but it didn't work. It might be all the extra oil that is in the bath cookie. But the fizzy part aside, I haven't figured out a way to make one that actually dissolves by itself.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 I have made them using that same recipe. They last for quite awhile, as long as you don't leave them somewhere where they are exposed to heat. I gave some to a couple of friends and the left them on their desks over the weekend, and they turned off the A.C. They cookies exploded all over the desk. But as long as you keep them in a cool place, they will last for a couple of weeks. You just have to be careful as they have eggs in them! Hope you are feeling better! Bath Cookies Hi, all been away for a while due to a hospital visit. I was looking at the site with 150 recipes. Does anyone know who long the bath cookies remain fresh. Can I make them and bag them for sale, and not sell them right away? Thanks for you feedback. Shirley Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 I wouldn't recommend the bath cookies...they have a tendency to sit on the bottom of the tub like a lump of dough and never dissolve...yuck! :-Þ Aside from the fact that they contain raw egg, which is a preservation problem, they could also pose possible bacterial hazards as well. A better bet would be to make bath bombs using the baking soda/citric acid/cornstarch blend (lots of recipes in the Library...link is at the bottom of this letter), and packing them in disc shaped molds (not too thin...they are fragile). Wilton makes some cute flower molds for thier candies that would make great bath bomb molds (remember metal--especially aluminum--molds will " pit " from the acid...plastic or rubber molds are best). Good luck! Cat > Hi, all been away for a while due to a hospital visit. I was looking at the > site with 150 recipes. Does anyone know who long the bath cookies remain > fresh.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I had a horrid experience with bath cookies, and I hope that yours don't turn out like that. Someone told me to try them, that they were super neat .... well, needless to say I ended up with a crumbling mess that just sank like a rock in my bathwater and didn't dissolve or anything. Think soggy cookies. *yuck* In fact, I always try to stay away from e-mails that say, " Bath cookie recipe. " LOL! But, maybe you have a different recipe that's way better ... let's hope so! I guess that I would rather just make some bath fizzies. Good luck with yours ~ give us the full report! .... from the computer of nne Jensen Check out my blog: http://bathtubjunkie.star-shaped.org/ Our Web site: http://www..org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Almost every person I have seen post who've made bath cookies with eggs as an ingredient was very disappointed with the end result. Not trying to dissuade you. Just giving you a heads up. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 I just tried the " bath cookies " and I got the same results...they just busted up into little peices but never really dissolved. **Perhaps if you added Citric Acid to the recipe you would get a reaction? I don't know how it would react with the egg though, but it might be worth a try. I'd give it a go, but our oven has been broken for ever, and we've just sort of made do, and now it's pretty much reduntant.
