OWL EYES COOKIES
These cookies are a real hoot, and they taste as good as they look. Each fall, it was a tradition for my Grandma to bake batches of Owl Cookies. The sweets were so tasty that we'd beg her to make them before the leaves had even begun turning. -Liz Clemons, Sumter, South Carolina

[email protected]These cookies were a disappointment. The dough was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too runny. I would not recommend these cookies to anyone.
