Pokemon Ball Sugar Cookies

And we continue with the Pokemon party items.  Since we had the party at Bass Pro Shop Bowling they didn't allow outside food like I usually do.  I found things to put into the treat bags I made. I saw a friend of a friend post a Pokemon party and they had a version of cookies and I thought I could make a version of these and put them in the bags!

I made my favorite sugar cookie recipe, decorated them and put them in clear bags that I then tied with ribbon and put in the treat bags. I did one cookie per bag, I could have eaten every one if they stayed in my house .. lol.

What You Need:

Sugar Cookie Dough

Circle Cookie Cutter

Red Melts

Black Melts (Mine didn't melt nicely so I used dark brown melts)

White Chocolate Chips

Clear Treat Bag (Dollar Tree 40pk $1)

Ribbon (Dollar Tree $1)

Roll out your dough and cut out the circles. I like thick cookies! I let the cookies cool, then I started to decorate. I melted red Wilton Candy Melts (1min 30 sec in microwave) then dipped half the cookie in.  I let the red harden  and the added the line and the white chocolate chip for the middle circle. I melted Wilton Candy Melts in dark brown to make the line (my black was clumping). Once the cookies had dried I put them into a small clear treat bag and tied with a ribbon. Into the bag they went!

Pokemon Ball (Oreo) Cookie Cupcakes

For Cole's class I wanted to bring some fun treats.  Cole's school has been very sweet and has allowed me to bring baked goods (usually they only allow store bought). I found several ideas on Pinterest to make Pokemon Ball's using Oreo Cookies.

What you Need:

Oreo Cookies

Red Wilton Melts

Black Wilton Melts

White Wilton Melts

Frosted Cupcakes

Clear Cups (Optional)

Clear Bags (Optional)

Ribbon (Optional)

I made a batch of simple white cupcakes and then tinted a batch of my sturdy buttercream with Super Red AmeriColor Food Color. 

Then I started to make the Pokemon ball cookies. I first melted the red Wilton melts in the microwave. I melt mine in my pampered chef glass bowl for 2 minutes. I then dipped each Oreo cookie into the red melt (only dip half the cookie). Let the red dry, you can put in the fridge to help dry. Then I melted white Wilton melts in the microwave (same process) and then dipped each Oreo in the the white melt (only dip half the cookie). When the white dries you can then add the black line and circle of the Pokemon Ball. Now this is the 2nd time I've tried to melt the black and do perfect lines. YUP not so perfect, I'm still working on this part, if you know a better way let me know. I melted the black into a Wilton squeeze bottle and made the lines (I've also tried piping bags etc).

Since I was taking these to school I wanted a easy way to transport and hand out to the kids. I found this trick a few years back on Pinterest. Putting cupcakes into a clear cup and then put a clear bag and tie with ribbon. This is perfect for parties. I find the clear cups at the Dollar Tree 25 pack for $1 and then the clear bags also at Dollar Tree 25 pack for $1. I tie with ribbon also from the Dollar Tree a spool also $1.

Have a Great Day!
