Here's basically how I did it.
I used this chocolate cookie dough, which was SO easy to make and roll! It didn't rise or expand AT ALL! Perfect for cookie cutters! (Georganne has a great blog- check her out!)
I used a round cookie cutter. Once cooled, I used royal icing (not my glaze icing), with a black thick icing, and outlined Brettboy's face. I let it dry a few hours, and tinted some royal icing for Brettboy's face and hair. I thinned the icing a bit and filled in the faces and hair, and used toothpicks to push the icing into corners and pop any bubbles.
Once they dried overnight, I used an Americolor food color pen to draw the faces on.
They aren't perfect. But that's not the point, right?

You're cookies are just darling. You have way more patience than I could ever muster up. Your son is a lucky little guy to have a mom like you.
