Easy Lego Cookies

February 20, 2012 | 98 Comments »

So, we’ve covered LEGO MAN COOKIES, so I thought it would be a good idea to run through the simplest cookies of all, LEGO cookies.  I love these because they are one of the easiest decorated cookies I have ever made!

For the actual blocks I used simple rectangle and square cutters like THIS and THIS, but ANY will work!

Choose the colors you like {I liked primary colors} and outline the shapes with a #2 tip and fill.  At this point let the cookies dry overnight.

While the cookies were drying, I made a Lego template.  Real Legos are perfectly uniform, so I wanted my cookies to be also.  I do want to point out, I took a little liberty with the Lego design.  Large Legos {which is what these were really intended to be} actually have eight dots rather than six, but to keep them proportionate I cut a few out.

*PS, I know there are six-dot Legos, but even though these are six -ot Legos, they aren’t.  They’re the big ones.  Yes, I’m crazy.

Anywhoo…I promise, this is  okay, and in the long run it’s NOT a big deal.  Only OCD people like me will notice.  The rest of the world will think they are perfectly adorable!

To create a template placed the cutters I used onto heavy card stock and traced around them. I then used a ruler to even space the “dots”.  I used a hole punch to pre-make the holes so that I could use it over again.

After the template was complete, I used the PUSH-PIN TRICK to mark my cookies.

Once the cookies were marked, I used 20-SECOND ICING to apply {dime-size or so} dots to the cookies.  I used the same technique as I did for my SIMPLE DOTTY VALENTINE’S DAY COOKIES.

The most important thing to watch here is consistency!  Too thin and you will have craters.  It’s also a good idea to swirl the tip or a toothpick through the dots like I did HERE to reduce the risk of cratering.  Make them a little bit smaller than you want them to be because they will spread a little!

Let the dots dry {about two or three hours} and you will have the easiest Lego cookies you’ve ever made!

My boys love these, and I know your kids will too!  If you would like to add the LEGO MAN FACE to the mix click HERE to see the tutorial!
