Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, add the candy melts and microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and then continue melting at 50% power in 30 second increments until smooth, stirring between each increment.
  • Push the cookie into the melted candy, completely covering the face, and let any excess drip off.
  • Allow to set on a cooling rack for 5 minutes.
  • Press two candy eyeballs just above the halfway point of the cookie and immediately press two of the orange sprinkles underneath to form a beak. Let the cookies set for about 15 minutes.
  • Once set, use the royal icing to outline a broken egg shell at the top and bottom of each cookie. Flood the outline fully with the royal icing and shake a little to even it out. Let the icing dry before serving.
