The movie my kids have been waiting a year for is finally here- Pokemon: Detective Pikachu! Shane got really into Pokemon a few years back and while Zac was a bit too young to really get it back then, he’s always loved Pikachu.

Justin and I have been really excited for this one too- Ryan Reynolds is hilarious in anything but hearing him play Pikachu is something I just can’t miss. We’re going to go see it for Mother’s Day- and if you’re going to see it too, these cookies are the perfect way to keep the fun going after the credits roll!

These easy Pokeball Cookies are inspired by the Pokemon: Detective Pikachu movie but would also be great for a Pokemon party! They’d be perfect as a dessert or even as party favors to bring home. Or you could even set up a DIY decorating station so kids could make their own Pokeballs! {Maybe even add a few different frosting colors for the different types of Pokeballs, like Master Balls and Ultra Balls.}
