Is there such thing as a cookie dummy? I'd like to practice my cookie decorating, but if I could skip the whole baking-the-cookie step (and using up a bunch of ingredients!) then that'd be great! Does anyone else practice on something other than a cookie? I'm looking for something that I can cut with my cutters and holds the shape, but will also be a good medium for decorating wit RI on. 
This is my moms TNT recipe and its what inspired me to be a cookieologist!!
Joans Cookie Dummy Dough
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup salt
1 1/2 cups water
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Combine the flour, salt and water; mix well and knead for 10 minutes. (or save time and throw into your KA, using the paddle or hook attachment). Roll out on a lightly floured surface.
Cut into desired shapes. Smooth edges out before baking.
Bake for 30 minutes; allow to cool.
Decorate with icing for practice. Allow to dry and spray with clear polyurethane on both sides to preserve for future refference.
I know this thread is ancient history now... but there is now a dummy cookie available commercially:
It's called Notta Cookie :)
