Finishing Touches:

To create the little ridge around the "top" and "bottom" I surface crocheted.

I did the bottom band first. Hold the cookie right side up and work around. I used the bottom stitch of the center color. The surface crochet should be lined up flush with the center with the recess facing downward.

For the top I hold the cookie upside down. I used the stitch above the center color. This row should be a mirror image to the bottom, the crochet should be flush with the center and the recess facing upwards. Weave in ends.
