How to make panda cookies

Описание: This is very similar to the panda bread I made a while back. I actually mention in the description that the design would make cute panda cookies. Here is the link to that video:
   • How To Make Panda Bread  

Someone else has done these but I used a from scratch recipe and the instructions from my panda bread video. Here is the website (they use a cookie mix and cocoa for the ears and eye patches):

I found the sugar cookie recipe here:

This would be perfect for my rainbow and unicorn poop cookies as well.

No spread sugar cookie recipe:

3 cups flour
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted or salted butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract (or any other extract you want to use)
1/2 tsp. salt (you can omit this if you use salted butter)

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy by hand or with an electric mixer

Add eggs and vanilla and blend well.
Add dry ingredients gradually to butter mixture mixing well until dough comes together. Turn out onto counter top and knead lightly until it makes a dough ball. Chill dough if it is very sticky.

Divide dough as follows:

First division: Divide white dough into three pieces two large and one small (small one about a third the size of the one of the other two large ones)

Knead in green food colouring into other large plain dough ball. Green dough: Cut into two pieces, one piece twice as small as the large one.

Knead black food colour into small dough ball and cut into four equal pieces

Division of remaining white dough:
Cut into three pieces, two large, one small (one half the size of one of larger ones)

To recap, before assembly you will have the following:
4 equal pieces black dough
2 pieces green dough (one big one half the size)
3 pieces white dough (two large ones small half the size of the larger ones)

Assemble the panda cookie log as per video directions.

Chill the log for several hours in the fridge or 45minutes to an hour in the freezer, the dough log should be very firm to that when you slice it, it does not squish or deform.

Place cookies on a greased or silicone mat/parchment covered cookies sheet. These spread very little so it okay to crowd them. Bake at 350 F until they are set (8-10minutes) and the edges are light brown. Let cool on cookie sheet for a few minutes and transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Once completely cool decorate with frosting to make noses and mouths. This recipe makes about 2 dozen cookies, this is a half recipe from the one on the website.
