Groundhog’s Day Cookies!
I have to admit, as a little girl I was always confused on Groundhog’s Day. I thought if there were clouds in the sky, we would have a longer winter so I always wished for a cloudy gloomy day. I didn’t want the sun because it meant the snow would leave and no more snow days!
Don’t laugh! I was little! LOL I have finally got it right! A cloudy day means no shadow and spring is coming soon.
A sunny day means the groundhog sees his shadow and winter will last 6 more weeks! I have my fingers crossed for sun!
Groundhog’s Day Cookie Supplies:
 3″ Groundhog Cookie Cutter
4mm Black Beads
Brown Outline Icing
Black Flood Icing
Royal Icing Recipe
Cookie Recipe
You are going to love how easy these are!
Outline a fuzzy shape for your groundhog by following the outline of the cutter and making a mouth and leg like I did here. Let it dry for about 10 minutes.
Then, with the brown outline icing, fill the groundhog and be messy! If you look closely at mine, you will see small holes.
See the holes? I think it adds character. Anyway, add a bead for the eye and one for the nose while he is still wet.
Next, add a little black icing to the mouth. You may want to use a toothpick or a  BooBoo Stick to  get the icing to the corner of his
Clouds and a sun make a cute little accent cookies for this little guy. 
But most importantly, don’t forget…the shadow! I want more snow!

So the big question of the day is, “Do you want an early Spring or 6 more weeks of Winter this Groundhog’s Day?”
Happy Creating,
Lisa, this is such a cute idea! The shadow is genius! 🙂 I’d love more winter, but I just heard that Punxsutawney Phil says spring is on the way!
Awe RATS!! lol I though you and I were the only ones that was wishing for more winter! LOL
I’m wishing for sunny skies – and it’s a sunny day to start by seeing this little creature!
Awe Thanks Kim! How are you feeling?
Linky Lou I’ve got the flu! Still not so good – kind of dizzy…hmmm that may be normal.
The shadow…..are you kidding me? What an awesome idea and the texture on the groundhog…totally amazing…totally Lisa! Love it!
Awe, you are so sweet Anita!
Adorable designs. Unlike you I am not a fan of winter and I just came in from shoveling snow so I’m glad to hear that Phil did not see his shadow this morning.
I think I will be shoveling snow by the end of the day! LOL I think Mr.Groundhog was wrong this time! LOL
These groundhogs looks like they’d be goofballs 🙂 In my book, that’s a great thing! Also, the shadows and clouds are such a cute addition! Alas, I’m ready for winter, so hopefully no shadows over here!
I am a big goofball Michelle! No shadows so it looks like Early Spring wins this year. But, it is snowing like crazy here so I might get one more good snow 😉
I love his shadow! SO cute!
