Fall Treats, Week 3

This time, we made owl cookies. These were really simple, and Will had tons of fun putting it all together.

Start with one pack of refrigerated sugar cookie dough. Add cocoa to 2/3 of it. Roll out the cocoa dough. Roll the sugar cookie dough into a tube and wrap with the cocoa dough. Refrigerate. Slice and put two cookies together to form eyes.


Add a cashew in the middle for the beak.


After the cookies are baked and cool, add drops of icing and stick M&M's in them for eyes. You could add eyelashes, but that proved a little beyond the skills of a toddler, so we left them.



Will had a blast making these (and licking the icing, eating the M&M's, which he calls "yummyums," etc.)
