Crazy Cookie Creatures |
Ingredients: 1 package (18 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookies 1/4 cup granulated sugar 4 rolls fruit-flavored, ring-shaped hard candies handful of candy corn 1 can (16 ounces) creamy supreme vanilla frosting 4 different food colorings Directions: Free cookie dough for 30 minutes. Line cookie sheet with foil. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut dough into 18 slices. Dip one side of each slice in sugar; place 6 slices, sugared side up, on cookie sheet. Create "creatures" on the dough with candies. Firmly press ring-shaped candies in dough for eyes. Press candy corn in dough for ears, horns, teeth, beak or mouth to create desired creature. Note: be sure candies do not extend over edge of dough; they will melt onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 7-9 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet for about 25 minutes or until completely cooled. Remove cookies from foil. Meanwhile, divide frosting into 4 small bowls. Add food colors to each; blend until you have the desired color. Place each color frosting in a resealable freezer plastic bag; seal bags. Cut small hole in bottom corner of each bag. Use the frosting to make hair, whiskers, glasses, etc. Decorate cookies as desired. |
