JJ and the Princess Girls ~Part 2: Ninjago

A month or so ago I told my nephew that I would make him Ninjago cookies for his birthday treat.

I looked around pinterest for some inspiration and found these

I decided I wanted to do the yellow face and the not so flat white part.

I found this recipe for the yellow icing. I like how it went on and stayed where I put it.

I was planning on doing the eyes with just melted chocolate, but then I remembered that I had these!!

Candy Eyes! (Doesn't everyone have these on hand?)

I was a little worried that they would make the ninjago guys look too sweet and not mean, so I played around a bit.

I used these Meijer brand sugar cookies (the chocolate chip ones are super yummy!)

I used the frosting I made and tinted it yellow (Arianna tinted her hand yellow). I put it in my pampered chef frosting squeezy things with a small hole top. I made sort of a rounded rectangle shape for the face. While it was still wet I put the eyes on.

I let that harden for a little while. It didn't really take that long. I then used just whipped frosting from a container. I put it in the pampered chef thing and used a slanty hole topper. I bought this topper (not sure what you really call those things) especially for these cookies because I thought it would look like cloth.

Right now he still looks pretty friendly. Almost like Gerbert covered up :)

For the eyebrows, I melted chocoalte chips (because I always have tons on hand, right colleen?). I put them in the pampered chef thing with the little hole top.
