Bake the yummiest cookies in the very best cookie maker game out there! Mix, cut out, bake, and decorate cookies of many shapes and sizes! This app will be the only one you use to bake and create a cookie that’s too cute to eat! First, mix the cookie ingredients in the bowl. Then, stir them with a wooden spoon, making a thick, yummy dough! Next, roll the dough out with a rolling pin until the right thickness is just right to cut with the cookie cutter. If it’s too thick, the cookies will take a lot longer to bake. But don’t roll it too thin either, or the shape will not stay together. Now, it’s time to choose which cookie cutter you want to use. Press the cookie cutter into the dough, then watch them go into the oven and bake until golden brown! Hope you’re ready to decorate! Choose the color of icing, and use your finger to frost as you wish! Use all 16 colors to fill in every detail of the cookie, or make some of them one solid color. Finally, it’s time to add the little touches that will make your cookie look too good to eat! Choose fun, colorful, and delicious items from 6 sweet categories: -Paint on icing -Icing decorations -Faces and details -Candy sprinkles -Dots and more -Nuts and fruit With all the choices, you will find yourself baking batches and batches of cookies in all different colors, shapes, and sizes! You will be very proud of your baking and decorating talents, so share your cookie creations with your friends on Facebook or email them. Don’t worry, with all of this baking, you can store them in the fridge for later. Beware! The more cookies you bake, the more you will crave the real thing! For more fun, be sure to try your hand at Chop Shop and test your chopping skills or take the food challenge and see how many cookies you can eat in 30 seconds!
