Ingredients

• 1.25 Cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces, divided
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) milk
• 24 Ounces (oz) dry sugar cookie mix
• 1 Cup cashew halves

Steps

1. In a small saucepan, combine 0.75 cup of the candy-coated milk chocolate pieces and milk. Melt over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
2. Prepare the sugar cookie mix according to package directions. Divide the dough in half. Stir the melted chocolate into one half of the dough.
3. Form the chocolate dough into two 12-inch long rolls, about 1 inch in diameter. Wrap each roll in wax paper or foil and chill until firm, about 2 hours.
4. Divide the plain dough in half. On a well-floured surface, roll each half into a 12 x 6 inch rectangle. Place a chocolate roll on the long edge of each rectangle. Roll up, pressing the doughs lightly together so the plain dough encases the chocolate roll.
5. Wrap each roll in wax paper or foil and chill for about 2 hours until firm. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. Cut each roll into 1/4 inch slices. Place two slices so they are touching on a greased baking sheet. In the center of each chocolate circle, place one of the remaining candies for an eye. Where the slices touch, place a cashew to form the nose.
7. Bake until the plain cookie is lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove and cool on wire racks.

Enjoy your delightful Owl Cookies!
