Percy Jackson (Jumbo) Cookies for 2!

I am seriously obsessed with percy jackson, I'm sorry. It might be an illness. So I found this recipe on baker girl's blog and tweeked it so it's perfect for percy jackson fans (I consider my self 1/6 ancient greek religiously). You could do 4 regular sized cookies, but I forgot :D.

If you haven't read Percy Jackson (so help me god), The reason they're Percy Jackson cookies is because they're blue. Why are they blue, might you ask? Well if you read the books (Like a sane person) you might know. Anyway, Percy's evil stepfather (smelly) Gabe told percy's mom sally that there is no blue food. Sally now goes out of her way to eat blue. Blue birthday cake, blue waffles and blue cookies.
