Ingredients
Scale

- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 60 candy eyeballs (2 per cookie)
- 60 round orange sprinkles (for beaks)

Instructions
- Melt the Candy Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine yellow candy melts and coconut oil.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth (about 1.5-2 minutes total).
- Transfer to Piping Bag (Optional):
- Pour melted candy into a piping bag (or use a spoon for dipping).
- Dip & Decorate the Cookies:

- 1 orange round sprinkle (beak)
- Let Set:
- Allow cookies to harden completely (about 10 minutes) before serving or storing.
Notes
✔ Use tweezers for precise placement of sprinkles.
✔ If the candy melts thicken, add a little more coconut oil to keep them smooth.
✔ Let the cookies set on a wire rack to avoid pooling.
✔ Get creative with sprinkles—any small orange or yellow shapes work for beaks and feathers!
