Funny Face Desserts Recipes

FUNNY FACE COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Stir cookie mix, flour, butter, egg and soft drink mix (dry) in medium bowl until dough forms. Roll dough on floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick.
• Cut dough with round cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. To decorate before baking, for eyes, nose, mouth and ears, use hard candies (not chocolate) or decorating gels. To make hair, push scraps of dough through garlic press OR use plain or tinted flaked coconut (coconut will toast during baking). Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set and golden brown. Cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. To decorate after baking, for eyes, nose, mouth and ears, use a variety of candies, decorating gels, frostings, miniature marshmallows, chocolate chips and licorice. For hair, use gels, tinted coconut, candies or pieces of fruit leather. Do not stack cookies decorated with gels.

SMILEY FACE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat on medium speed for about a minute until well blended. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and beat until fully incorporated.
• Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together then incorporate it into the wet ingredients.
• Fold chocolate chips into the batter.
• Scoop out 16-18 cookies, about 1/4 cup of dough for each. Place cookies on parchment paper lined baking sheets. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bake cookies one tray at a time, for 12-16 minutes. The cookies should begin to set around the edges, be light golden brown, yet still be soft in the center.
• Allow cookies to cool completely.
• Attach two candy eyes to each cookie using melted confectionery coating. Pour remaining coating into a squeeze bottle or small zip top bag. Pipe smiles onto cookies. Let candy coating harden.
