Owl Eyes Cookies
These cookies are a real hoot, and they taste as good as they look. Each fall, it was a tradition for my Grandma to bake batches of Owl Cookies. The sweets were so tasty that we'd beg her to make them before the leaves had even begun turning. —Liz Clemons, Sumter, South Carolina

I have been making these adorable and tasty cookies for years! In fact, my mother made these for my twin sister's and my classes when we were in grammar school in the early 1960's! She got the recipe from a Pillsbury Bake-Off cookbook. I've made them for my own children, now grown. I always bake these owl cookies this time of year, it's a tradition :)
I bake the cookies on the last halloween and it taste very good. I bake 2 style of Owl, the firts like the recipe and the secon one with the white inside the brown plus chocolate chip in the middle of the white. The kids find them cute and tasty. I will bake them again this week i think!
