My sister came over to my house to help me make these, and they are fairly easy to put together, just a bit time consuming, but oh so worth it! We ended up making about 4 dozen, and I will admit it, we sampled a few and they are delicious! So if you like lions or are just looking for something different, give these a try!
Lion Cookiesadapted from Pillsbury
1 (16 oz.) pkg. Pillsbury refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough (Or any peanut butter cookierecipe of your liking, we ended up also using a bag of Betty Crocker Peanut Butter cookie mix)
1/2 c. sugar
Chow Mein noodles
Reese's Pieces Baking Bits
Brown decorating gel
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Form dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place on an ungreased baking sheet at least 2-inches apart (make sure to have enough space, because they do expand!) Flatten balls with the bottom of a glass. Place candies on the cookies to make eyes and a nose. Use chow mein noodles to form a mane and don't forget the whiskers! Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool for 1 minute and then remove to cooling racks. Once cookies have cooled enough, use the decorating gel to draw on the mouth.
