Dog-gone cute cookies

I saw these dog cookies in last month's Parents magazine. They called them pooch pops since they baked them on sticks. They suggested using the sugar cookie dough that you can buy at the store and mixing some of it with cocoa to get the brown ears. I just made my own sugar cookie dough and mixed some of it in my mixer with some brown Wilton food gel. They were really easy. You use a heart shaped cookie cutter and cut out a heart from the brown cookie dough and the original cookie dough. Place the plain heart on the cookie sheet, cut the brown heart in half and place on each side of the plain heart. Press some mini chocolate chips into the plain heart and bake. The ears will bake into the head part. Then use some white icing to glue on some eyes and a nose using M&M's.

*On a side note, someone had asked me where to find the original orange candy corn this time of year. Our Super Target has the Jelly Belly brand of candy corn in their bulk candy section.
