MAKE FUNNY FACE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Stir cookie mix, flour, butter, egg and soft drink mix (dry) in medium bowl until dough forms. Roll dough on floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick.
• Cut dough with round cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. To decorate before baking, for eyes, nose, mouth and ears, use hard candies (not chocolate) or decorating gels. To make hair, push scraps of dough through garlic press OR use plain or tinted flaked coconut (coconut will toast during baking). Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set and golden brown. Cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. To decorate after baking, for eyes, nose, mouth and ears, use a variety of candies, decorating gels, frostings, miniature marshmallows, chocolate chips and licorice. For hair, use gels, tinted coconut, candies or pieces of fruit leather. Do not stack cookies decorated with gels.

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl combine Buttermilk Pancake Mix, milk, egg, and oil. Stir just until combined but still slightly lumpy.
• Heat a lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat until a few drops of water dance across the surface. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle. Spread batter into a circle about 4 inches in diameter.
• Cook over medium heat until pancakes are golden brown, turning to cook second sides when pancake surfaces are bubbly and edges are slightly dry (about 2 to 3 minutes per side).
• Let youngsters make their own funny faces on the cooked pancakes, using their imaginations and bananas for eyes, peaches for eyebrows and mouths, raisins for noses and mouths, and coconut for whiskers. Serve warm. Makes 16 pancakes.
