Hoot Owl Cookies image

A friend gave me this recipe but the original creator is Natialie Riggin from Olmypia, Washington. Two slices of refrigerator cookies are baked together with chocolate chips for the eyes and a cashew nut for the beak. A clever party cookie.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups flour, sift to get measurement
2 teaspoons baking powder

I had trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out too much in the oven.

I love how easy these cookies are to make. I was able to whip up a batch in no time. They're also really versatile. I used chocolate chips, but you could easily use other mix-ins, like nuts or dried fruit.
