After one insane deep freeze here in Wisco {and everywhere else} that kept us cooped up for a few extra days, it seemed the perfect opportunity to make more of these sweeties I started right before Christmas break. The arctic temps are also a great excuse to heat up the oven for a little extra warmth in the house!My hoodie friends couldn’t be easier to make either. Here’s a quick picture how-to, if you want to embrace the wintery weather in cookie form. Start with a circle (mine were around 3.5 inches in diameter) and frost a little face.
After that has dried a good bit, add wiggly, silly looking hair line.
Quickly fill in the hair. Using a scribe tool or a toothpick, drag the bangs down to create a bit more definition.
Let the hair dry for about 20 minutes so you can add the fur hood and sprinkles to make it extra fuzzy.Now we are ready for a face! I used a food writer to draw on the eyes and added rosey cheeks with pink petal dust.
I finished them off by piping a nose and red smile. It’s cold, but they look happily cozy!I love these little guys! Maybe this same design could be done on the top of cupcakes or a round cake? No matter what form, it sure would make a sweet winter treat!
I love them so much! Just looking at them makes me happy:)
Thank you, Sue! Might as well grin and bear it with the cold around here. 🙂
Beautiful! I have a question please, what color you use for the face? Thanks!
Hello Elisa! I think I used a very small amount of tan food color, and maybe a touch of red. I dip a toothpick in the color bottle and added it to about a 1.5 cup of frosting. You can always add more, but it’s impossible to add less! 🙂 Hope that helps!
Thank you so much!
These are so sweet and made even cuter with the addition of sprinkles! I love ’em!
Your cookies are adorable. Like another idea using a round cookie cutter….thank you!
