Aviation cookies

These may have been my hardest challenge yet!! My mom was having a birthday party for my dad and I wanted to make cookies. My dad had just finished restoring a 1963 Cessna Skyhawk 172 airplane, so I wanted to make airplane related cookies. So I made his airplane, the airport control tower (where he used to be the head air traffic controller before he retired), a pilot, gauges from the cockpit, a yoke (steering wheel) and of course, we needed aviator sunglasses! The gauges were so difficult that I gave up on putting all the little details on them because there were too many tiny numbers. Plus, there was NO pressure to get them right since 90% of the guests were pilots!!!
