Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Cut-Out Cookie Recipes

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ¼ cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces
2 tablespoons milk
24 ounces dry sugar cookie mix
1 cup cashew halves

Steps:

  • 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 12 x 6 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 F (190 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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around later.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, buy organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Season your food well: Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other spices to your dishes. Seasoning can really bring out the flavors of your ingredients.
  • Cook your food properly: Make sure you cook your food to the correct temperature. This will help ensure that it is safe to eat and that it has the best possible flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcrowd your pan: When you're cooking meat or vegetables, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
  • Use a variety of cooking techniques: Don't just stick to one or two cooking techniques. Try different methods, such as grilling, roasting, baking, and sautéing, to add variety to your meals.
  • Garnish your dishes: A simple garnish can really make your dish look more appealing. Try adding a sprig of fresh herbs, a dollop of sour cream, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Cooking is a skill that takes time and practice to master. But with a little effort, you can learn to create delicious meals that will impress your friends and family. Just remember to follow these tips, and you'll be on your way to becoming a great cook in no time.
