Recipe




Makes: 12
Prep: 50 min
Chill: 15 min
Bake: About 12 min
Decorate: Depends on skill

1. Have a large baking sheet ready.

2. Knead flour into dough until well blended. Remove 1/4 tsp dough, roll into 12 tiny balls (for pupils); reserve. Roll remaining dough into an even 12-in. log. Cut in twelve 1-in. pieces. Place pieces cut side up. Insert your thumb in center of each and make an indentation large enough to hold a peanut butter cup; insert cup.

3. Roll dough between palms of your hands to rise up and around sides of cup. Put a pupil in center of cup. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheet.

4. Put a few drops red food color into a small cup. Dip in end of toothpick; draw veins from center to edge of each cookie. Refrigerate 15 minutes to firm dough.

5. Meanwhile heat oven to 350°F.

6. Bake cookies 12 min or until pale golden around edges. Remove to a wire rack to cool. If desired, pipe blue gel around pupils of some of the cookies.
