I made this Pokeball Log cookies last year for my son’s birthday. Then I continued to try a couple more other simple designs of log cookies using this beloved wooden box.
After 1 year, my son’s favorite is still Pokemon, which means another chance for me to improve on the cookies. Last year cookies were more pink and brown, so I need color to be more bold. This year I’m adding more food coloring (sorry kids) and it’s the right color I wanted finally !! I used Dorie Greenspan’s cookie recipe this time instead.. and man.. it spreads after baking. My cookies top and bottoms all stick to each other. I won’t compensate next time by increasing baking temperature as I want 300 degrees only to maintain the color of the cookies rather than golden brown if baked at higher temperature. So next time if I’m using this same recipe, I would definitely space the cookies at least 3 cm apart !! Nevertheless, the cookies taste great and most importantly, the 6 yo kids probably didn’t notice those wrong color cookie crumbs at the border before they popped them in mouth.
Here I present, the cute PokeSquare cookies (again) : COOL is the first word when my kids saw them in the kitchen.
