3″ sugar cookies
16oz. can chocolate frosting
chocolate jimmies/sprinkles
chocolate twizzles
peach rings
reese’s pieces or m&m’s
pastel cake confetti
orange candied sunflower seeds
1. Using a butter knife or small metal spatula, spread a thin layer of chocolate frosting over the surface of each cookie. Sprinkle chocolate jimmies onto the lower half of iced cookies for a feathery effect.
2. To create owl eyes, lay two peach rings side-by-side. Drop brown candies into the center of rings for pupils. Dip the tip of a toothpick into frosting and dab a tiny amount on the backs of white cake confetti. Adhere to pupils.
3. For ears, carefully split Twizzlers lengthwise with a sharp knife, then cut into pieces approximately 1 1/4″ in length. Miter the ends, so a “V” shape is formed in the center of forehead when two pieces are fitted together.
4. Noses are a single yellow candy, and a couple of orange sunflower seeds were used as talons. Gently apply pressure to all candy features to ensure they bond well to the wet frosting.
