12.04.13 National Cookie Day Inspired Lunch

Today is national cookie day it's a day to celebrate all the different types of cookies. There are bar cookies, drop cookies, molded cookies, no bake cookies, pressed cookies, refrigerator cookies, rolled cookies and sandwich cookies and with all these different types of cookies I couldn't help but use this as inspiration for little S's lunch today.


I didn't really want to give him cookies for lunch as they can be less than nutritious so I decided he needed a cookie look alike. I chose the gingerbread man shape as the cookie inspiration and made them out of ham and cheese.




Main Compartment:

Gingerbread men - I cut three ham gingerbread man shapes and topped them with three american cheese gingerbread man shapes. These were cut using a cookie cutter that had a press for the details so I knew where to put the face and buttons.

Faces - The eyes were gingerbread men shaped jimmies, and the mouth was a candy cane jimmy,

Buttons - these were tiny dices of carrot

Snowy background- unsweetened coconut



Top Right Compartment:

Mini orange silicone cup of diced carrot

pretzels to eat with his ham and cheese men



Bottom Right Compartment:

freeze dried apple that i broke into chunks with cranberry raisins
