My daughter had her last basketball game of the season this weekend (it was an awesome game!) and I wanted to bring in a little celebratory treat for her to share. With very limited time during our chaotic weekend, I ended up coming up with these quick and easy basketballs inspired by these much more beautiful cookies.
All you need to do is draw the lines onto Nilla Wafer cookies as shown using a black food marker...
... and pipe a small dollop (what a fun word) of desired frosting onto the bottom of another cookie. Sandwich the two together and the frosting will spread, filling out the cookie. Make sure you just add a little or else it will all just squeeze out of the sides.
And that's it! You could also add a marked cookie onto a store-bought cupcake as a topper for another last minute basketball treat.
Speaking of last minute, check out this cute lunch I'm sharing over at Chef Mom using up dinner leftovers for lunch here. =)
What a great idea! I have five kids and they all play sports ... I'm always looking for fun sports-related treats!
