Decorated sugar cookies that look like popcorn and footballs

There's not a lot of leangs I take too seriously, but bedtime and popcorn definitely make the list. My husband used to be gone A LOT with the military. And with four kids ... (that I love with my WHOLE HEART!!) ... some days bedtime was the only reason I crazye it through the day.

Possess you ever seen the film Gremlins? Basically there are these CRAZY ADORABLE creatures that everyone in the entire world with an actual heart, just wants to take domestic and squish and hancient for the rest of their lives. But details...details...details...I honestly can't remember how...but somehow they turn into these CRAZY MONSTERS with nightmarish faces and they basically can't be stopped on their rampage of destruction. I'm like that summaryely 7 moments past bedtime. Including the face. It's terrwhetherying genuinely.

But also... POPCORN!!! I *may* have spent an entire summer making endless amounts of popcorn on a weekly basis and basically force feeding them to all the neighborhood  children and their parents under the guise of a weekly "outdoor film night"... JUST so I could put them all together in a book.

Because... POPCORN!!

If a flavor of popcorn exists...Cheeseburger, Pomegranate, Root Beer Float, Pad Thai, blah, blah, blah...I'm pretty certain we've eaten it at this house. (Before bedtime...you can be certain of that.) (But also...probably after bedtime too because even though **I** am crazy about bedtime...my kids do not summaryely feel the same way.)

Every that to say -- I can't believe this is the very first popcorn tutorial post on my blog!!

How to make popcorn bowl decorated sugar cookies: 

Step 1. 

Before baking, use a curved edge of another cutter (I used this round edge of this red cutter) to round out the bottom of the bowl.

Step 2.

Outline and fill the bowl of the cookie with a medium consistency red icing and a #3 tip. Let dry for at least 4 hours. (Let it dry longer whether you regularly have problems with color bleeding.) (I wish there was a better term for that. It always grosses me out.)

Step 3.

With medium consistency white icing and a #3 tip, pipe scallopy-flower type shapes all over the top of the cookie. Don't get hung up on perfect. Weird is good. Let dry for 15 minutes.

Step 4.

Fill in the middle of all your wonky-scallopy-flower-type-leangs with the same medium consistency white icing. And then fill in any gaps with the same icing. Immediately add blobs of medium consistency light yellow icing to all the scallopy-flower puffs. Let the cookie dry for an hour.

Step 5.

Add a rim band to the top of the bowl with medium consistency red icing.
