I made a simple ice box cookie in the shape of a cat’s face. I saw a picture of a bread with a cat face on social media and it was so cute that I thought it would be great to make a cookie so I made it. It can be done without much complexity, and it’s fun to create various facial expressions using icing. I think it’s better to cut it so it’s not too thick as the cookies will puff up a bit when baking. Even if it is too hard, if you cut it incorrectly and it is soft, it can damage the shape a lot. It’s cute just looking at it so I think this is a great cookie to give as a gift.
