TMNT- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- Cookies

Everything cool from my childhood is making a comeback....

TMNT...

Rainbow Brite

Strawberry Shortcake

My Little Pony...

They are like the originals, but with a twist...

Personally, I still like the originals best.

But, it is kinda cute when your nephew wants TMNT cookies.

I asked him what the TMNT say...

I was expecting "Cowabunga Dude"...

Only, I guess they don't say that anymore.

what?

I am kinda scared for this next phase of childhood- all characters.
And character cookies are hard.

I don't have any fancy equipment- no KopyKake..

No airbrush machines.

Just me and my trusty PME's.

So...

Tada...

My version of the TMNT

in cookie form!

Just like the toy...

right?

So, Doodles-

I hope you had the happiest of birthdays.

Love,

Aunt CiCi

Let's get Swiggy with it.....

Swig.  Swiggy. Swiggy Sugar Cookies...

I first saw this recipe on Pinterest... big surprise there...

And I was intrigued.

Claims were thrown about.....

Best Sugar Cookie Ever..

Frosting is to die for....

Swoon Swoon Swoon.

So, I felt a challenge was on..

I made these swiggy cookies.

With pink frosting of course.

The cookie is denser...

Crumblier than a regular sugar cookie.

Not as sweet- almost shortbread like, but not shortbread.

And the frosting.  Good.  Very Good.

But, not life changing.  

I personally would have preferred my butter-cream on top.
The recipe made a lot of cookies.

Which made for a lot of happy co-workers.  

I found the original recipe here.

Vintage Revivals made them and blogged beautifully about them.  

I did make my usual alterations and only put a 1/2 tsp salt in the frosting.  

1 teaspoon seemed like a lot....

In summary, good cookie.  

Fun cookie.

Swiggy Cookies.  

Go out there and get your swig on...

Have a great week everyone!
