Take That Sugar Cookies!

Every time I try to make sugar cookies, I fail in some way. I tried again at Christmas and was reminded of why I hate to make sugar cookies. The point of this story is that because of this animosity I have with sugar cookies, I was a bit skeptical of what my skills would be with another cookie treat I've been wanting to try. Granted they really aren't that much alike but I was reminded of the sugar cookies anyway.

I'm loving how the little tufts of hair/feathers turned out on these chicks!




Mine are not perfectly pretty like the pros but I think they're still pretty cute. You can see where I got the idea here

Since Wal-Mart is the only store I had, I was limited with my supplies. I'm just now realizing that I forgot to put whiskers on my rabbits. Oops! From start to finish (clean up included) 16 of these little guys took me 2 hours and 1 bag of candy melts. That's much better than my sugar cookie time. Now that I have a better idea of what to do, I'm sure I can make way more in the same time.
