Superbowl M&M Football Cookies

Are you ready for the big game?

Me neither

Unless you count these cute M&M Football Cookies.

They are delicious, easy to make, and best of all, fun to eat during and after the game.

Come on, who can refuse a bite or two?

So, my idea is the following:

Make football shaped sugar cookies, thick cookie icing, and serve the M&M’s (or Skittles) in a bowl. That way, everybody can decorate them using their team’s color, or in any pattern they’d like.

Around here my husband is a huge football fan and loves inviting friends over and talking about play and statistics. I, on the other hand, am focused more on the food, and concocting recipes for the occasion.

I cook, they eat. It works 🙂

I love how cute these cookies came out. I used THIS COOKIE CUTTER to create the football shapes

Do you have a favorite color?

Those M&M’s pieces can’t be beat! So buy a few bags to make these M&M Football Cookies. If you’re not a fan of M&M use Skittles. They will both be delicious.

Choose to make the cookies and icing from scratch or simply use store-bought dough and bagged icing. Both versions will turn out great and of course, cute. 🙂

I hope you can try these delicious M&M Football Cookies at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
