Your kids will have a hoot helping to bake up these delicious sugar cookies. They make a great surprise snack for back-to-school lunchboxes or a wonderful treat for fall parties, Thanksgiving or Halloween.
Ingredients
- 1-1/4 cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 24 ounces dry sugar cookie mix
- 1 cup cashew halves
Cooking Instructions
- In a small saucepan combine 3/4 cup of the candies and milk. Melt over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Prepare cookie mixes according to package directions. Stir melted chocolate into half the dough. Form chocolate dough into two 12-inch long rolls about 1 inch in diameter. Wrap in wax paper or foil. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
- Divide plain dough in half. On a well-floured surface, roll each plain half out to a 12x6-inch rectangle. Place a chocolate roll on long edge. Roll up, pressing doughs lightly together so plain dough encases chocolate roll. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Wrap each roll in wax paper or foil. Chill about 2 hours until firm. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Cut each roll into 1/4 inch slices. Place 2 slices so they are touching on greased baking sheet. In the center of each chocolate circle, place one of the remaining candies for eye. Where the slices touch, place a cashew to form nose.
- Bake until the plain cookie is lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and cool on wire racks.
