Recipe: Harvest Scarecrow Cookies (using cookie mix)

Desserts - Cookies, Brownies, Bars
HARVEST SCARECROW COOKIES

"It's fun and easy to "dress" vanilla sugar cookies as sweet scarecrows by adding shredded wheat "straw hair," a sugar wafer "hat," and a smiling red licorice face."



1 (17.5 ounces) package sugar cookie mix
1 teaspoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
1 (16 ounces) container vanilla frosting
54 sugar wafer cookies
Shredded wheat cereal, broken up
Assorted decorations, such as candy-coated pieces and red string licorice

Prepare cookie mix as directed on package, adding vanilla. Cut out rounds with 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter.

Bake and cool cookies as directed on package.

Frost cooled cookies with vanilla frosting. For the scarecrow's hat, break a sugar wafer cookie in half. Press wafer cookie half into the top of the frosted cookie. Place a whole wafer cookie below the cookie half. Press shredded wheat around sides of the face for straw hair. Use candy-coated pieces and string licorice to decorate the face.

Makes 3 dozen or 36 (1 cookie) servings
