Easter Chick Cookies

Here is one more recipe for a fun Easter treat!  I found these cookies here and just had to make them.
To make these cookies preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  In a large bowl combine a lemon cake mix, 1/3 cup oil, and two eggs until a soft dough forms.  You can add several drops of yellow food coloring to make the color more intense.  Roll two balls of dough, one slightly bigger than the other, and place them together so they are touching on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake for 12 minutes.  Remove from the oven and immediately add two mini chocolate chips for the eyes and an orange tic tac for the beak.  Place on a cooling rack.  You can make the feathers with a tube of yellow decorator frosting.
Pretty cute, eh?  Give them a try.

Note:  I go back to school on Monday so the crafting and baking insanity should stop soon...

  13. How many ways can you say A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.? I'm thinking this is probably similar to a snickerdoodle and those are a family fave -- must make!
