    Take two slices and lay them side by side on cookie sheet. (place them tightly together). Pinch the top corners to form the ears of the owl. You will need a can of cashew nuts to use for the beak of the owl. Put a cashew in the center of the two cookies to form the beak. For the owls eyes. You will need 4 ounces of cream cheese. I put the cream cheese in a pastry bag and use a # 3 tube to put a dot for the white of the eye. You will need a bag of chocolate chip for the pupil of the eye. Place one chocolate chip on the dot of cream cheese and press down gentle. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool on rack. Make 3 dozen.
