Comical Sci-Fi Desserts

The Picard Facepalm Cookies Lets Fans Enjoy the Meme in a Satisfying Way

— August 11, 2014 — Lifestyle
Those who have always wanted to devour Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise will love these Picard Facepalm cookies. It takes the popular meme and turns it into an even more satisfying meme. Incredibly detailed for such a treat, the Picard Facepalm cookie features not only his classic stance, but also her black and red uniform.

Created by Jenn of JustJenn Recipes, the Picard Facepalm cookies were baked using a sugar cookie recipe and colored with red and black food gel dye. The shape is owed entirely to a cookie cutter made by Warpzone. Jenn writes, "Don’t get offended if you get a facepalm when you make these cookies just ENGAGE, I mean eat!" Although such a response would be very meta of the recipient.
