The Start Menu

There is no real recipe for this, just use your favourite cookie mix. I used Chocolate chip, which in hindsight made life a little harder trying to get the right shapes with lumps of chocolate hanging out. I did solve that problem however by devouring the offending chocolate chip.

The idea originated from when i was making Xmas Mince pies, i cut the circle then cut a V out so i wouldn’t have leftover dough. Since i was doing a cookie swap at the time i made a quick mock up with the Pie Dough which my kids loved.

I gathered my cookie mixture together in the following few days, and did some research (clearly not enough, i almost only made 3 Ghosts when there are 4!), then sat down one night to make the cookies.

I took photos of the process for you to have a giggle. Apologies for the poor photo quality,  It was night from 9pm-1am , i don’t have a decent flash unit etc. I made 3 sets, one for each of the people in the cookie swap, and one as a spare in case things went wrong which i took to work.

After wiping the conference room table, i placed the cookies out in a pattern, everyone loved it and wanted to eat it,. John grabbed a Ghost immediately, and then there was talk about ‘you cant eat the ghost until you get a powerup! and you need Pacman to eat his way along the line to get to those!.

So for the rest of the day everyone would eat a small cookie, and move Pacman along a pace whilst making the ‘waga waga’ noise.  Slowly they all disappeared.
