Of all the chess pieces, I like the rook best, which resembles a fortress, and I tried to recreate it, including the atmosphere of a castle. In order to vary the color of the bricks, I adjusted the baking time and position in the oven during cookie baking.
It is not at a level where I can make it public, but I uploaded it as a record of my first work.
I think the attached photo is more eloquent about the size of the piece.

How fun! And I so appreciate the picture with the dimensions! How big was each brick and how many went into this small 3-D structure? And how long did it take you to stack the entire thing? Impressive patience!
The brick measures approximately 10mm(W) x 5mm(H) x 3mm(D), which is 0.4inch(W) x 0.2inch(H) x 0.1inch(D) . I used about 100 bricks and it took about 4 hours to stack.
I initially tried stacking with the bricks as squares, like real buildings, but the scale proved too small and the gaps too noticeable. So, I disassembled my partially completed structures and re-stack them, angling the backs of the bricks.
Hi Kaz! Oh, the patience, this tower is so tiny! Amazing work, the bricks are perfectly baked. Welcome, and congrats on your first post! Next you need to participate in the Cookie Connection challenges! @Ryoko ~Cookie Ave. knows everything about them!

We are going to push him, aren't we? I made the dough and told him how to bake cookies and I left him alone saying "Clean the kitchen afterwards, will you?". LOL.
