Ingredients
Scale
- 24 nutter butter cookies, family-size package
- 1 cup candy melts, yellow, 6 ounces
- 48 candy eyes
- 48 sprinkles, round orange
- 1 cup icing, royal, white, 8 ounces
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the candy melts and microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and continue melting at 50% power in 30-second increments until smooth, stirring frequently.
- Dunk the cookie into the melted candy, ensuring full coverage on the face, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place on a cooling rack and let set for 5 minutes.
- Gently press two candy eyeballs above the cookie's halfway point and place two orange sprinkles underneath to create a beak. Allow to set for about 15 minutes.
- Once hardened, outline a broken eggshell with royal icing at the top and bottom of each cookie. Fill the outlined area with royal icing and gently shake to level it. Let the icing dry before serving.
Notes
Ensure the microwave power is properly set to avoid burning the candy melts.
Allow adequate time for the icing to dry before handling the cookies.
