I made Pokémon kitty cookies for #Nyanuary at the last minute! Every month, a member of the Fandom Foodies community hosts a month where food bloggers create a recipe based around a theme. This January, @prettycakemachine​ has been hosting a month of foods themed after fictional cats. I already made a Neko Atsume cake, but considering the abundance of cat-like Pokémon, I couldn’t let the month pass without making some Poké-kitties!



Thus, I spent all evening in my kitchen baking home-made cookies of regular Meowth, Alolan Meowth, and my favourite Pokémon of all time who happen to all be psychic kitties - Mewtwo, Mew, and female Meowstic!

Of course, I have custom 3D-printed cookie cutters of the last three, so they were relatively easy to make. (Relatively - those cookie cutters are hard to work with!)

I made the Meowth from scratch! My partner suggested I bake Meowth cookies, and I loved the idea since I realized I could make both forms! To get the nice grey colour for the Alolan Meowth, I separated some of the cookie dough and dyed it with black food colouring. I then printed out a Meowth face template (with just the face and ears), and used that as a stencil to cut my dough. I then cut out little strips of dough and cut one end into a point to make each Meowth’s six whiskers, plus a round piece of dough for the coin. It wasn’t a fast process, but I got the hang of it eventually!



The cookies held up surprisingly well in the oven! Once they dried, I used leftover buttercream icing from my Neko Atsume cake to decorate them! I’ve never tried to ice a sassy expression before, and I think the results are pretty funny. I also iced on some details on my psychic kitties.



Thanks for reading!
