Sock Monkey Cookies and Cookie Cutter Improvisation

For these sock monkey cookies I had to think outside the box.  I didn't have a sock monkey cutter, so I improvised!

Using three cutters, including a monkey head cutter, a medium circle cutter (the white cutter is a smooth circle on one side, scalloped on the other) and a small circle cutter, I made the sock monkey shape.

Placing the three different pieces tight together is all it takes for them to bake together.

A little bit of icing transforms them into these cute sock monkeys!!  (I was inspired by Sweet Sugar Belle to use this icing swirl technique.)
