The Very Hungry Caterpillar

These cookies are, hands down, my very favorite in all the years I've done cookies!  The challenge was getting the shapes exactly like the book when I only have 4 out of the 16 shapes that would work. I traced, cut out, laminated the shapes (for cleanliness), then placed them on dough and cut out with an exacto knife. I used an icing tip to make the holes.  But all the work up front was totally worth it for the results!

The goal was to have coloring very similar to the book.
