Bath Cookies
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.
