Flat Cat Cookies

Mirj's Note:

Poor kitty!

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 18

Yield: 3.0 dozen

• 1 (20 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
• 1 -2 tablespoon flour
• red cinnamon candies
• seedless strawberry jam

Directions:

1. With an adult's help, preheat oven to temperature specified on package.
2. Sprinkle flour on a clean, flat surface and roll out cookie dough slightly thicker than what the package calls for.
3. Then, using butter knife, cut out cookies in the shape of a flattened cat.
4. Use a large spatula to carefully transfer cookies to cookie sheet.
5. Bake according to package directions.
6. While they're cooling, count out enough cinnamon candies to put two eyes and a nose on each cat.
7. Carefully flatten between the front and back of two spoons and set aside.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for about 3 minutes and then press in eyes and nose.
9. Transfer to wire rack to continue cooling.
10. Dribble jam here and there on each cookie for blood.
11. Makes approximately 3 dozen kitty road kill.
12. Sicko serving suggestion: Instead of making each cookie in a perfect cat shape, make a few that are missing a limb and/or tail.
13. Why not even sever a head or two?.
14. Drip jam blood at stumps for an authentically dismembered look?

Well, I think I did your recipe a disservice by not following through with the 'flat cat' theme, but still the cookies were great just as the bloomin' bloody 'thangs' they were! Interesting, to say the least, & very good tasting, to say the most! The recipe will, I'm sure, be don justice when I pass it on to my daughter & her three kids to make & play with! Thanks for sharing!
