Preheat Oven to 325. Mix everything in a bowl with a spoon until a thick paste forms. Divide into eight parts; then shape into bars. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet (organic coconut oil) and bake for 10 minutes. Yields approx 8 bars.
Wrap individually & store in fridge. They will keep for about 1 week. Remember, these aren't cookies -- they will be dense like a protein bar. But -- oh so much better tasting, less money & better for you than a store bought one. :).
Take your bar of soap (we use Dove or store brand like it, because it's more moisturizing), and grate it with a cheese grater.
Pour the water and grated soap into a microwaveable container and cook on high for 3 min.
Remove and stir until all soap bits have melted (put in a bit longer, if needed).
Let it cool, then pour into pumps (leftover from store bought liquid soap), and the remainder in any container with a lid.
Note:
Always make soap before the new moon.

Place grated soap in a pot.
Cover with water and simmer over medium heat until all soap is melted, stirring occasionally.
Pour into 5 gallon bucket.
Add washing soda and borax.
Add enough hot water to fill the bucket.

Mix everything together, let it cool until it gels. Whisk or beat until it foams. (I used my Kitchenaid mixer.).
Use the foam only with a rough cloth or a brush to scrub the upholstery, making sure not to soak the fabric.
Re-beat the soap as necessary to get more scrubbing bubbles.
As you work, use a clean damp cloth to wipe away the soiled suds.

Slowly add the vinegar a little at a time and mix until it starts to clump and is easy to manipulate.
Press into ice cube trays (really press hard).
Set the trays out to dry in a sunny place for at least 24 hours.
