How to Make Fun Little Chick Cookies with Video

Do you remember the other day when I made the Simple Bunny Cookies with the Cute Bunny Tushies? I liked them so much I decided to make a few friends for them. I mean come on, if bunny tushies are that cute, chick cookies with cute little chick tushies have to be just as cute!

Since the bunnies got a few carrots to munch on I thought the chick cookies needed a few worms in case they get hungry. What do you think? I think I want to make every animal on the planet into cute little tushy cookies. Maybe we can start a world wide cookie business called Sugar Cookie Tushies…adorable cookies not buts about it! I know. I know I need to work on that tagline.

Chicken Wings!

We need to discuss the little chick wings. They aren’t hard to make but they may need some explaining. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I made you a picture.

• Begin with a 2″ scalloped circle cookie.
• Cut it in half.
• Flip the 2 half circles over and place them together.
• Use the circle cookie cutter to cut the outer edge of the halves. When you are done, you have 2 simple little chick wings.
• If you don’t want to use the circle cookie cutter to make the wings, you can always use a mini leaf cookie cutter. Whatever works right?!

Outline and Flood:

• Once you make a batch of cookie dough and baked up your little chicks, wings, worms and bows, let them cool completely before you bake.
• Outline the hearts and wings with the yellow royal icing.
• Flood the chick cookies and wings with the yellow icing and add the 4mm Black Pearl Dragees for the eyes or you can use black icing to make them.
• Let the cookie dry either overnight or for a few hours. Since my climate is humid, I let them dry overnight before adding the beak and feet to help prevent the colors from bleeding together. If you live in a dry climate, lucky you! You don’t have to wait as long.
• Add the beak and the feet with the orange icing and let it dry overnight.

Hearts:

• Pipe 2 ovals with the red icing at the top of the bow tie.
• Let it dry for 10-20 minutes until the icing crusts over.
• Flood the rest of the heart and let it dry for 10-20 minutes.
• Pipe a dot in the center of the bow.

• Outline hearts with the yellow icing and let them dry for about 10-20 minutes.
• Flood the cookies and don’t cover the tushy line.
• Let it dry for about 20 minutes before you add the tail feathers.
• Let the cookies dry before piping the feet with the orange icing.

Chicken Legs or Feet:

• The worms are so simple I didn’t make a tutorial.
• Begin by outlining the body with the red icing.
• Pipe two lines (that don’t touch) on the neck area and let it dry for 10-20 minutes.
• Flood the worm with the red icing and add a candy eye.
• Pipe the centerline on the worms neck.
• Let the cookies dry overnight.

I Love the Little Worms:

So now that we have bunny and chick tushy cookies, what can we make next? I vote for sheep tushy cookies. Have you made them before or any tushy cookies for that matter? If so, add a link in the comment section and show us where to find them. I know we would all love to see them!
