Whimsical Halloween cat cookies with coconut whiskers are a kid-friendly, festive party treat.
Ingredients:
  • 1 3/4 cups Gold Medal™ flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package (3 oz) Jell-O™ orange-flavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
  • 3/4 cup Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy dark chocolate frosting (from 16-oz container)
  • 40 green mini candy-coated milk chocolate candies
  • 10 orange mini candy-coated milk chocolate candies, cut in half
  • About 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (120 shreds)
  • 1 pouch (7 oz) Betty Crocker™ Cookie Icing red icing
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and gelatin; set aside. In another medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Add the egg and beat until well combined. Gradually mix in the flour mixture and buttermilk in alternating halves on low speed to form a soft dough. Gently fold in the orange peel.
  • Spoon dough onto lined cookie sheets, keeping them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown. Let them cool for 1-2 minutes before transferring to cooling racks. Wait until completely cooled before adding decorations.
  • For Cookie Decoration: Put chocolate frosting into a 1-pint resealable plastic bag, seal it, and snip a small 1/8-inch opening at one corner. Squeeze out frosting to create cat faces in the center of cookies. Press 2 green milk chocolate candies for eyes, half an orange milk chocolate candy for the nose, and 6 coconut shreds for whiskers into the frosting. Add pupils to the eyes with chocolate frosting and draw a mouth with red icing. Keep in an airtight container.
