So, we’ve covered LEGO MAN COOKIES, so I thought it would be a good idea to run through the simplest cookies of all, LEGO cookies. I love these because they are one of the easiest decorated cookies I have ever made!
For the actual blocks I used simple rectangle and square cutters like THIS and THIS, but ANY will work!
Choose the colors you like {I liked primary colors} and outline the shapes with a #2 tip and fill. At this point let the cookies dry overnight.
While the cookies were drying, I made a Lego template. Real Legos are perfectly uniform, so I wanted my cookies to be also. I do want to point out, I took a little liberty with the Lego design. Large Legos {which is what these were really intended to be} actually have eight dots rather than six, but to keep them proportionate I cut a few out.
*PS, I know there are six-dot Legos, but even though these are six -ot Legos, they aren’t. They’re the big ones. Yes, I’m crazy.
Anywhoo…I promise, this is okay, and in the long run it’s NOT a big deal. Only OCD people like me will notice. The rest of the world will think they are perfectly adorable!
To create a template placed the cutters I used onto heavy card stock and traced around them. I then used a ruler to even space the “dots”. I used a hole punch to pre-make the holes so that I could use it over again.
After the template was complete, I used the PUSH-PIN TRICK to mark my cookies.
Once the cookies were marked, I used 20-SECOND ICING to apply {dime-size or so} dots to the cookies. I used the same technique as I did for my SIMPLE DOTTY VALENTINE’S DAY COOKIES.
The most important thing to watch here is consistency! Too thin and you will have craters. It’s also a good idea to swirl the tip or a toothpick through the dots like I did HERE to reduce the risk of cratering. Make them a little bit smaller than you want them to be because they will spread a little!
Let the dots dry {about two or three hours} and you will have the easiest Lego cookies you’ve ever made!
My boys love these, and I know your kids will too! If you would like to add the LEGO MAN FACE to the mix click HERE to see the tutorial!

Amazing how something so simple can look so unbelievably difficult. Very cool.
While your Lace Cookies might require more artistry than I can muster, I can tackle these (thanks to the 20-second icing tip!).
Hi there- I can’t find your first name. I made my own version and plan to post and link back to you!
I only saw the main photo on pinterest so when I read your original post i was like, “oh man… you used a template.” Let’s just say I was going for a pastel version of Legos and didn’t even attempt Lego Man! Thanks for the beautiful inspiration. I’m Not a Trophy Wife and I’m clearly not a cookie decorator! Your website is filled with inspiration. I’m off to find your first name! xo, laura@imnotatrophywife.com
I’m sorry…but after you outlined the cookies; you did not let on how you iced them so perfectly?
