The dollar store is on my way home from work so I seem to stop there at least once a week to pick up a few things. The products are not always brands you may be familiar with, but that is not all bad, as they work well and will still do the job. You can stock up or stop in when you need something and the prices never go up.

You probably want the smoothest you can get – so that you have a nice palette to work with. The concrete mix will be heavy and messy, so protect your work area, use a mixing bucket you can ditch afterward if need be and consider using gloves.

Turn the parchment paper over (so the pencil marks are on the back) and use it to line a cookie sheet. If it’s too thick, flaws in the tops of the cookies will not work themselves out. Bake for 9-12 minutes, until the cookies have formed “feet” at the bottom and the tops have set. 3.2.2265. . . .
