FULL LIST OF MY GAMES/COOKIES OF THE YEAR:
5. Monster Hunter Rise
Recipe: chocolatecoveredkatie.com/snowball-cookies-that-melt-in-your-mouth
(Just split it into three and add gel food coloring. They are a little crumbly, so maybe don't try to skewer them.)
4. Metroid Dread
Recipe: bettycrocker.com/recipes/classic-peanut-butter-blossom-cookies/a3563f6e-96b0-443f-ae0a-53cef4be6db6
(I had to put in 50 drops of purple food coloring and it barely worked. Also, I just squished green M&Ms on the top and used green icing from a supermarket. This is a child's cookie and that's what makes it great.)
3. Death's Door
Recipe: tasty.co/recipe/macarons
(I piped a few extra little dots of the macaron batter in order to make the handles for Pothead and attached them with buttercream. I broke up some thin pretzel sticks for his log neck.)
2. Resident Evil Village
Recipe: cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/10766-biscotti or this one if you don't want to subscribe there: shelovesbiscotti.com/almond-biscotti
(I replaced half the almonds with raw pistachios to add a little extra chewiness. I melted chocolate chips in the microwave and then painted them on the bottoms and let them set.)
1. Inscryption
Recipe: It's plain old shortbread. I used this recipe: cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018784-shortbread-10-ways
but you could probably use any solid shortbread recipe.
(I piped on black icing to make the cookie. I did not take a photo of a person and transfer their consciousness into the cookie. Stop asking if I did.)
