DIRECTIONS
- 1Heat oven to 350°F. Line large cookie sheet with foil. Remove half of cookie dough from wrapper; refrigerate remaining dough until needed.

- 4Bake 7 to 12 minutes or until set. Cool completely on pan. Repeat with remaining half of dough.

Frost cookies with pink and white frosting as desired (see photo). Outline ears, bow tie and vest using jelly beans and assorted candies. Sprinkle candy sprinkles on ears and bow tie. Use candy for eyes and nose, 1-inch string licorice pieces for whiskers and 1 1/2-inch pieces for mouth
