This is the last Superhero Birthday Party post ~ I promise!!! lolHere are the cookie details…

I wanted to have the children decorate lightening bolt cookies as they arrived to the boys party. The problem was that I couldn’t find a lightening bolt cookie cutter. There was one on etsy but I was worried that it wouldn’t arrive in time and/or I would have to pay extra for expedited shipping.

So I created my own cookie cutter.

I used polymer clay {Fimo} and shaped my own lightening bolt. I simply rolled a long rope of clay then formed that into a bolt shape, then pinched the rolled shape up to create a bit of an edge. While not perfect, it worked in a pinch.

Then we iced.

And sprinkled.

And ate. I had enough cookies left over to decorate and bring to the boys Halloween party on Monday which was a bonus! Okay all done the Superhero madness. For now. :D
