Calico Kitty Cookies


 

These feisty felines are the cat's meow because you bake them up fast with refrigerated dough.

1 ~ 18 ounce roll Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookies
2/3 cup { 48 }  pecan halves
1/3 cup { 72 } candy ~ coated chocolate pieces
48  ~ 2 1/2 inch thin pretzel sticks, cut in half

Place cookie dough in freezer for at least 1 hour.

Heat oven to 350°F. Cut cookie dough into 24 slices. Place slices 3 inches apart on ungreased insulated cookie sheets. For ears, press 2 pecan halves onto top of each cookie, overlapping edge of cookie. For eyes and nose, press in candy pieces. For whiskers, place 2 pretzel pieces on each side of nose; press in slightly.

Bake at 350°F. for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; before removing from the insulated cookie sheets. Makes: about 2 dozen cookies
