Anime Monster Cookies

These Delicious Pikachu Cookies are Perfect for Fans of the Show

— December 22, 2014 — Lifestyle
If you grew up playing Pokemon on your Game Boy Color or watching the animated television show then these delicious Pikachu cookies are the perfect nostalgic sweet to take you back to your youth.

Food blog Just Jenn Recipes created this super simple and easy to follow sugar cookie recipe to turn the iconic yellow monster Pikachu into an edible treat. The recipe begins with making a neon yellow sugar cookie dough that is then cut into classic shape of the little anime monster. The blog recommends picking up a Pikachu cookie cutter from Etsy but you can easily use a knife and a steady hand to cut out your own shape. Bake the cookies and once they've cooled you can add cute red cheeks, black tipped ears, eyes and a smiley grin.
Trend Themes
1. Nostalgia-inspired Treats - The trend of creating nostalgic treats based on iconic figures from popular culture presents opportunities for food and beverage companies to expand their product offerings and connect with consumers on an emotional level.

3. DIY Dessert Projects - The trend of providing easy-to-follow recipes and tutorials for creative and visually appealing desserts presents opportunities for food bloggers and influencers to monetize their content through partnerships and sponsorships with relevant brands.
Industry Implications

3. Food Blogging and Influencing - Food bloggers and influencers can leverage the trend of DIY dessert projects by creating engaging content, such as recipes and tutorials, that resonates with their audience and partnering with brands to monetize their content through sponsorships and collaborations.
