[Ghibli] Totoro Character Cookies

I was test-baking these cookies to give them to a friend of mine who loves the Ghibli characters. They came out rather cute, so I thought that I should post the recipe.
Use a bamboo skewer to carefully align the black sesame seeds to make the patterns on Totoro's belly. For about 20 cookies. Recipe by *chura*

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine the cake flour and sugar, add and cream the margarine, then knead with your hands until the dough comes together.
- 2
Divide the dough into 3 big pieces and 1 little piece (for the leaves). Add the coloring ingredients to each piece and knead the different colors of dough until the coloring is evenly distributed.
- 3
Chill the dough in the freezer for about 5 minutes (it will be hard to form the dough if it is soft).
- 4
Soot Sprites! Roll out the cocoa cookie dough into circles. Use plain cookie dough to make two small circles for the eyes.

- 8
Place pairs of 2 grains of black sesame seeds together on the belly and push them in to make the pattern as shown in the picture (3 on top and 4 at the bottom).
- 9
Place chocolate chips on the centers of the eyes of the Soot Sprites, Little Totoro, and Large Totoro.
- 10
Make the green cookie dough into leaf shapes and place them on the heads of the Little Totoro and Large Totoro.
- 11
Bake the dough in an oven preheated to 170℃ for 12-15 minutes and let cool.
