You need...
2 dozen sugar cookies (I purchased them from the bakery at the grocery store!)
1 package of Nabisco Pinwheels (I've never heard of these, but they are in the cookie aisle)
1 can chocolate frosting
1 can vanilla frosting
yellow and red food coloring
Color half of the vanilla frosting yellow and the other half red. Prepare an icing bag filled with red, one with yellow, and one with chocolate. If you don't have icing bags, no big deal! Use ziploc bags instead. Put #3 tip on the yellow and red and a #12 on the chocolate. If you're using ziploc bags, snip a small hole on the red and yellow and one about the size of a pencil eraser on the chocolate.
Cut the rounded edge off of 1/2 of the sugar cookies,and cut the Pinwheel cookies in half.
Spread a small amount of chocolate icing on the bottom of the Pinwheel and attach to the flat edged sugar cookie
Make "feathers" with the red icing around the edge of the Pinwheel
Spread more chocolate icing on the cut edge of the Pinwheel and attach to a whole sugar cookie
Pipe a neck and head out of chocolate icing
Use the yellow icing to draw in the legs, feet, eyes, and nose
Finally, use the red icing to make his snood!!!

You can make these on a smaller scale with Ritz crackers and oreos cut in half. I used brown sugar cinnamon Ritz...didn't know they made them, but they are DELICIOUS!!!So I typed this all up only to find a link to it online...oh well! Their directions are probably a little better than mine!
