Mickey and Minnie Mouse Party Favors

A close friend recently threw a 1st birthday party for her daughter. The theme was the Mickey Mouse Club House.

After thinking a while, we decided that a smaller cookie would be best for giveaways and as all the little ones would love them anyways, simpler was better when it came to the design!

Using Mickey Mouse's iconic red trousers and yellow buttons for inspiration along with dainty Minnie Mouse's pink polka dot dress (I had a stuffed Minnie Mouse doll that wore that dress), I started looking for an appropriate cookie cutter.

While I have quite a collection of cutters, nothing seemed perfect.

What a dilemma...

Until.... Mr. T free-handed the classic Mickey Mouse head onto some thin cardboard and then we cut it out to use as a template.

It gave us a custom shape but of course meant cutting out each cookie with a knife... the things we do for our Loved Ones :)

We put down the black top half of each cookie first, waited about 30 minutes, and then filled out the bottom of each cookie making an equal amount of Mickey's and Minnie's.

Ta-Da!!




Cookies and Kisses,
