I know I have posted this blog post last month, but this time I am sending this 'Sanrio Cookies' post to
Sugar High Fridays (SHF) #69 Bite-Sized Desserts hosted by Aparna of
My Diverse Kitchen for a sweet round-up:).
Sanrio is a Japanese company that produces
kawaii (cute) merchandises aimed for young girls. The most famous character from Sanrio is "Hello Kitty" - I am sure most of you have heard or seen "Hello Kitty" somewhere. Growing up, I loved buying and collecting Sanrio stationary products and accessories, from cute notebooks, stickers, pencil cases, rulers, letter-sets, well, you name it! I still love them, but there's not much choice around here in Germany, just
Diddl,
Nici and Hello Kitty in a few stores. I was never that fond of "Hello Kitty" anyway. I prefer other characters from Sanrio like "Badzt-Maru" the penguin, "Keroppi" the frog or "Monkichi" the monkey ;). I was inspired to make some cookies using these characters from Sanrio, even though I finally didn't make "Keroppi" because my green food colouring's gone! Anyway, here they are...

"Welcome to my house," said Jacque the bear. "You can also have some Badtz-Maru cookies with milk :)!"
Do you see the character sketches behind the cookies :)?
Which character do you like best?

Kuririn the Hamster?
Badtz-Maru the Penguin?
Or, Monkichi the Monkey?
I personally like "Kuririn" the Hamster the best, because the Kuririn cookies have the least flaws I think. Anyway, it was a quite fun project with a lot of drawing and painting :)! I used marshmallow fondant to decorate the cookies, click
here if you want to see the recipe. I used
food colourings to paint the characters and
Food marker pens to outline them. I used some sugar sprinkles for the general decoration like the hearts, pink balls and pink glitters on Kuririn's head.

Sugar sprinkles I used.
I made the cookies using Peggy Porschen's recipe from her wonderful book:
Simply Spectacular Cakes. Very simple and easy to remember: 200 g butter, 200 g sugar, 400 g flour and 1 egg. That's it!
