Midgame Transition

Making the cookie dough
At this stage in the game I like to transition out of my jelly opener into a more stable lemon cookie mid game you’ll find you waste vey little time.

SUGAR COOKIE DOUGH
3 cups all purpose flour (more or less, as needed)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, salted softened (2 sticks)
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 Lemon Zested

Method
1. Cream (whisk) together the butter and sugar together in a bowl

2. Add the egg and lemon zest and whisk slowly (by hand)

+ Show Spoiler +

+ Show Spoiler +

3. Add the flour and mix until it binds and forms a dough (do not over mix) Be careful of altitudes since it will affect the moisture I had to add about 2 tbsp of water to mine since I live in an arid climate and have a high altitude.

+ Show Spoiler +

4. Form into pancakes and wrap in saran wrap. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
+ Show Spoiler +

5. Once cool clear an area on the counter and dust it with flour. Roll out the dough until it I about 1 cm thick or any desired thickness. Make sure everything including your rolling pin is dusted in flour

6. Cut the cookies using a cookie cutter (I took a heart mold and bent it to make the cutter you see)

+ Show Spoiler +

7. I used the tip of the cutter to upgrade my banelings with feet and then stuck them on the bottom. (You can cook them separately or together if the feet fall off u can glue them with the frosting your about to make)

+ Show Spoiler +

8. Take your baking or cookie sheet line it with parchment paper and spray it with a non stick spray (Pam etc) Place your banelings on the tray and then a-move them into the oven. (Your oven should be preheated to 350F) Bake for 8-16 minutes depending I baked mine for a total of 12 minutes I did 8 minutes first checked and waited till the edges turned a nice light brown. It took an additional 5 minutes.

Cookies are done took around 13 minutes

Cookie Late Game

Making the Icing
After a solid lemon cookie midgame there is only one option left, the icing late game. Nothing is more O.P then icing and your friends and family will agree!

DECORATORS ICING FOR COOKIES
2 egg whites
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
2 tsp. water
2 1/2 to 3 c. sifted confectioners' sugar

Method:
1. Separate two eggs and place the whites into a bowl
2. Add the 2 tsp of water and 1/8th tsp of cream of tar tar
3. Whisk until it becomes frothy
4. Start slowly adding in your icing sugar

+ Show Spoiler +

This is not thick enough but a good time for food colouring (Split into separate bowls so u can have more then 1 colour)

+ Show Spoiler +

Use towels to prevent your bowl form sliding

+ Show Spoiler +

You may not need all the icing sugar you want to whisk until it forms stiff peeks (same consistency as pictured above)

+ Show Spoiler +

Added food colouring I used a neon purple

Finishing Touches

Now that all the work is over it is time to add the finishing touches!
I cannot really give you much more instructions on how to ice the cookies it is fairly straight forward I iced the outsides then sectioned off the body into head thorax and 2 bubbles on his butt. After I iced the outlines then I added eyes and a mouth then poured jelly into the body sections

Piping bag locked and loaded

This was my basic idea and outines
