Yo Gabba Gabba Cookies

If you choose to do Yo Gabba Gabba cookies you have a few different options. This article will help guide you through making Yo Gabba Gabba cookies.

Sugar Cookies
For a delicious treat, sugar cookies are tough to beat and easy to make! You can find a great Sugar Cookie basic recipe here. To dress them up to fit your theme, add a bit of food coloring, or employ icing to create the faces of the Yo Gabba Gabba charaters.

Food coloring is very easy to use, and will add very little time to your baking process. Divide your dough into five parts in five different bowls, and add a few drops of food coloring to each one. The more drops you add, the richer the colors will become. You can buy food coloring in a variety of colors, or buy primary colors and use color mixing to create green, purple, orange, or any other colors you want.

Fondant Cookies
A more ambitious project would be to draw the faces of each character with icing. Treats-sf.blogspot.com has some great designs for you to use, as well as another recipe for vanilla sugar cookies if you don’t like the other one. This project requires planning, since some of the work is best to do a day or so ahead of time. The project mentions the use of fondant, which is a kind of thick icing that is great for cutting into shapes to be placed on your designs. The author recommends using fondant for the characters’ eyes, and a few other shapes such as Brobee’s horns. You can buy small cartons of fondant to roll out, or sheets in different colors from which you can cut your shapes. If you buy a carton, you will need to use food coloring to create your colors and ideally let the pieces sit in the fridge overnight.

As the article also shows, similar techniques can be used to decorate cupcakes for the party. Cupcakes are increasingly popular as substitutes for a traditional cake, and are easier to bake due to their small size. You can see all of our Yo Gabba Gabba Cake and Cupcake ideas here.
