Yoshi’s Cookies

#TODO write full recipe

These cookies are based on the NES take

I halved the Allrecipes’s Best rolled sugar cookies recipe. For shaping the cookies:

  • Square: I cut out squares with a knife, before making a dent in the centre.
  • Flower: I used a 1.75" cookie cutter from Bulk Barn, before making a dent in the centre.
  • Circle: I used a shot glass and cut out holes with a toothpick, before dusting the cookie in cinnamon sugar (1:1 cinammon:sugar)
  • Heart/Linzer: I cut out heart shapes with a 2" cookie cutter. For every second cookie, I cut out another heart out of the heart shaped cookie.

Decorating the cookies

  • Flower & square: I added a small amount of royal icing to the dent before adding a Smartie on top of it (purple for flower; green for square)
  • Heart/Linzer: I added a bit of lingonberry jam on a solid heart cookie, before sandwiching a heart outline cookie on top.

Checkerboard cookies

I used the Cookies and Cups checkerboard recipe. However instead of cutting each dough into nine strips like in the original recipe, I cut my dough into four strips.
