Lego....Play on!!

In case you didn't know, Play On is actually Lego's slogan :) Did you know that Lego is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt" meaning "play well". Some interesting facts (or "useless information"....:p)...

Anyway, Thomas and his friends (no pun intended!) certainly have an excuse to "play" with their food at Thomas' 8th birthday party!! Mummy Jacinta has planned a Lego themed birthday party for Thomas, complete with Lego block cake, Lego brick cookies and Lego Man cookies for each guest to bring home. 

So much fun!! 

Dino Cookie Pops!

More cookie pops! I'm officially going to get fat haha...excuse for me to pop the extras into my mouth, have to test that they are just right, no? :p
These Dinosaur Cookie Pops are for my friend's son's fifth birthday and he's gonna give these little dinos out to his little friends at school. Let's hope his little friends will be over the moon with the little dinos :)

Dora Cookie Pops

Oooohh...more M&M Cookie Pops! Whenever I'm asked to make this, it's really bad for my wasitline cos I sneak the leftovers into myself hahaha! Oh no!

These Dora Cookie Pops are for a huge Dora fan. Now I know that Dora has a monkey sidekick called Boots :p I never knew cos my boys are not Dora fans...but now I know....hahaha

Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Pops

My friend's daughter is crazy over Strawberry Shortcake. The last time I saw her, she showed off to me with much pride, her Strawberry Shortcake jeans. How cute! I guess Strawberry Shortcake has made a successful comeback after being in vogue more than 20 years ago, when I was a little girl...(oops!) :p

So for her 5th birthday, Little Miss Strawberry Shortcake's doting mummy decided that Little Miss Strawberry Shortcake shall have Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Pops to celebrate her birthday with her friends! These are rich chocolate cookies chock full of chocolate chips for extra chocolate oomph and studded with M&Ms for extra happy kids hahahaha! Yum! I had to stop myself from devouring them as the waft of sweet chocolate filled my kitchen....drool.....

Excuse the terrible pictures as I was lacking in natural light at 1am in the morning.....zzzz

Rich Chocolate Cookies

I was experimenting with a a new recipe for something new (hmm) and after I was done I had leftover dough, which should never ever go to waste. So leftover dough became rich little chocolate cookies.

 

To double the chocolate quotient, I threw in generous amounts of chocolate chips. These little chocolate morsels packed a great chocolaty punch.

For another batch I baked, I studded them with colourful mini M&Ms. These are usually the highlight for kids. Somehow, kids go crazy when they see these little colourful orbs of chocolate.... well, actually, so do I! Hahahaha....

Rainbow M&M Cookies

My son volunteered cookies for a party in school so it's up to mummy here to do the "hard work" hahaha...... Was thinking about what kids would love to see at a party and I thought, hmmm, colourful M&Ms will really entice the kids, so it was decided.

I call these the Happy Cookies cos they look so bright and colourful and so HAPPY!
