1. - Bake cookies. Prepare and dough following recipe instructions; tint yellow using icing color and roll out. For each soccer cookie, you will need to cut two solid circles and one “ring” shape using the following method: use the A cutter to cut out three circle shapes. Cut out the center of one of these with the C cutter to make a ring shape. Bake and cool.
2. - Prepare icing. Use Royal Blue icing color to tint icing. Place in a disposable decorating bag fitted with tip 3.
3. - Trace pattern. Lay small piece of baking paper onto our pattern. Using the blue FoodWriter edible marker, trace the pattern onto the baking paper. Place traced paper onto a cutting board. Using a craft knife, cut out the centre pentagon and remove cut paper piece. Cut half-pentagon shapes along outer edge. Place pattern on biscuit. Using edible marker, trace cut areas of the pattern onto the cookie. Remove pattern. Outline and fill in cut-out areas with a decorating bag filled with blue icing and tip 3. Pipe lines connecting shapes. Pat flat areas smooth with a fingertip. Let dry several hours or overnight.
4. - Attach cookies. Use one undecorated round cookie as a base, bottom side up. Pipe icing on the bottom of a ring cookie and lightly attach to bottom round cookie.
5. - Assemble cookies. Fill cavity with approximately 1 teaspoon of mixed soccer balls and white nonpareils. Pipe another ring of icing on top of ring cookie and attach top decorated circular cookie.
