I had never made soccer ball cookies before, so hunted around the internet for ideas. I found a detailed tutorial , but realized that it was made with a hexagon(6-sided) template for the black sections of the soccer ball and my "research"showed that the black sections on a soccer ball are actually pentagons(5-sided). Aha! Well, I decided to just freehand the soccer ball design with the black icing. Though each ball is slightly different, I was pretty pleased with the results and breathed a sigh of relief when I was finished! I packaged each cookie in a cellophane bag and tied them with ribbons of green and yellow(team colors). I heard reports that they were well received!
