<p>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.</p>
<p>The idea originated from when i was making Xmas Mince pies, i cut the circle then cut a V out so i wouldn&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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 &#8216;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!.</p>
<p>So for the rest of the day everyone would eat a small cookie, and move Pacman along a pace whilst making the &#8216;waga waga&#8217; noise.  Slowly they all disappeared.</p>
<p>You can find the full photo set here <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wishes/sets/72157622749111189/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/wishes/sets/72157622749111189/</a></p>
