My girlfriend is a big Mario fan, so when she was out one morning I decided to bake her a treat. This was inspired by Fractal Cookies. I made up three batches of cookie dough. The plain white came out with a perfect consistency, the red was a bit sticky and the chocolate was a bit dry, but they were all still workable, and tasted great. I didn’t expect it to be so large, but I managed to just squeeze it into my oven.

6. after the dough is well chilled, preheat the oven to 375. Roll dough to 1/8 inch thick and cut out cookie squares. be sure to use enough flour on your prep surface to prevent sticking.
