Flat Cat Cookies

1 pk (20oz) refrigerated sugar Cookie dough
1 tb To 2 flour
Red cinnamon candies
Seedless strawberry jam

Tools:
Rolling pin
Butter knife
Spatula
Cookie sheet
2 Spoons
Wire cooling rack

With an adult's help, preheat oven to temperature specified on package.

Sprinkle flour on a clean, flat surface and roll out cookie dough slightly thicker than what the package calls for. Then, using butter knife, cut out cookies in the shape of a flattened cat. Use a large spatula to carefully transfer cookies to cookie sheet.

Bake according to package directions. While they're cooling, count out enough cinnamon candies to put two eyes and a nose on each cat. Carefully flatten between the front and back of two spoons and set aside.

Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for about 3 minutes and then press in eyes and nose. Transfer to wire rack to continue cooling. Dribble jam here and there on each cookie for blood. Makes approximately 3 dozen kitty road kill.

Sicko serving suggestion: Instead of making each cookie in a perfect cat shape, make a few that are missing a limb and/or tail. Why not even sever a head or two? Drip jam blood at stumps for an authentically dismembered look?
