What fun are these Pokemon Ball cookies? Plus, you can even customize these bad boys and get the kids involved in making this fun and delicious cookie recipe.
These cookies are pretty neat if you ask me!
Of course, you will need a cookie-cutter to make these. A simple circle one will do. If you don’t have one, then you can even use the top of a cup.
As you are making these, you will notice that they do take a little more time to make.
You will have to do the red, then let that dry for 30 minutes before doing the white section. Then you will have to set aside and let dry for 3 hours before even putting the black on. That is what takes the longest is waiting, but not the actual work itself. These Pokemon Ball Cookies are still pretty simple to make, so I hope that you won’t let that keep you from making them.
After the black, then you will still have to wait another 20 minutes, then add the white again in the center. After that, you have to let them set 8 hours before you can even bag them so that you do not get the icing on baggies. Again, they are still pretty easy to make.
