They make your bath water smell just like fresh-baked gingerbread cookies and if you use gingerbread boy molds like I did they even have ta cute look them too.

Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Baking Soda
- 1/2 cup Citric Acid
- 1/8 cup Gingerbread Spice
- 1/2 cup Shea Butter
- 3 Tbsp Cornstarch
- Wilton Gingerbread Boy Silicone Mold
Instructions
- Melt the shea butter in a warm water bath or the microwave. Set aside for 10 minutes, then stir in the emulsifier and essential oils.
- Add the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and whisk slowly until well combined.
- Add ½ teaspoon of water, while whisking to avoid activating the mixture.
- Grab a handful of the mix and see if it readily holds a clump, if not, add a little more water(make sure to mix it in quick) and test again. The clump does not need to be firn, just prone to stay together. The mixture should have a consistency like a cookie dough.
- Pack the mixture tightly into the silicone mold. The top should be flat and even. Using your fingertips, gently press the bath bomb out of the cookie cutter.
- Let the bath bombs dry for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Leave overnight to harden.
Notes
Pro Tip! In most climates, this recipe will be perfect, but if you live in a very dry climate (like our Canadian prairie winters) you may need to add 1 tbsp coconut oil. Do this slowly, just a teaspoon at a time, then mixing in really well, until the mixture is no longer dry and crumbly and holds a shape when squished together.
