Ingredients
- 1/2 roll of store bought sugar cookie dough
- 3 tablespoon flour
- 12 mini peanut butter cups
- 1 red food color
- 1 blue and/or green icing
Preparation
Have a baking sheet ready. Knead flour into dough until well blended. Remove 1/4 teaspoon of dough and roll into 12 tiny balls (pupils), reserve. Roll remaining dough into a 12 inch log. Cut into 12 pieces, and place cut side up. Insert your thumb in the center of each to make an indentation large enough for the peanut butter cup; insert cup. Roll dough between the palms of your hands to rise up and around sides of cup. Put pupils in center of each cup. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Put a few drops of red food color in a small cup. Dip the end of a toothpick; draw veins from the center to the edge of each cookie. Refrigerate 15 minutes to firm up dough. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 12 minutes or until pale golden around edges. Cool. Pipe blue or green icing around pupils of some (or all) of the cookies.
