In the world of baking and Barbie, a delightful fusion has emerged - the Barbie cookie project. This unique endeavour is perfect for celebrating the launch of a new Barbie movie or hosting a Barbie-themed party.

To embark on this sweet adventure, you'll need a few essential ingredients: sugar cookie dough, royal icing, gelatin powder, an acetate sheet, cardboard, and various baking and decorating tools. The recipe, though popular, remains anonymous in the digital realm.

First, roll out the sugar cookie dough on a sheet of parchment paper and cut out cookie panels using patterns and a pizza cutter or knife. Bake these panels for the least amount of time suggested in the recipe, ensuring they're just right.

While the cookies are cooling, let's prepare the edible gelatin plastic for the front of the Barbie box. Dissolve gelatin in water, spread it onto the acetate sheet, and let it dry for 1 to 3 days.

Once dry, cut a piece of gelatin plastic using the front panel as a guide and attach it to the back panel with royal icing.

The front panel of the cookie box has a cut out to see Barbie inside. Cut out a window in the front panel, leaving 1/2 in. along the top and sides, and a larger space along the bottom with a rounded section in the left-hand corner.

Next, construct the Barbie box by attaching the cookie panels with stiff royal icing. Create Barbie on the back panel with royal icing, allowing for customization of her features and clothes. Write "Barbie" on the front panel with smooth royal icing, and add mini round cookies or other edible toppers for decoration.

Consider using the Barbie box as a cake decoration item. For more Barbie-themed projects, check out the Barbie-inspired hair clips tutorial.

The sugar cookie panels are attached using royal icing, similar to a gingerbread house. Stiff royal icing is used for "gluing" cookies together, while smooth royal icing is used for decoration. Dye the sugar cookie dough with bright pink food coloring, and consider using gluten-free or vegan cookie dough to cater to various dietary needs.

The "plastic" in the front of the box is made of gelatin and water, providing a charming touch to this sweet creation. The recipe suggests using the edible gelatin plastic project as practice for making larger cookie houses during the holiday season.

So, gather your ingredients, roll up your sleeves, and get ready to create a Barbie-themed cookie masterpiece that's sure to delight both young and old!
