For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate candy melts instead of milk chocolate. Ensure the dough is thoroughly chilled for easy slicing and to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking. Experiment with different types of nuts for the beaks, such as almonds or pecans. Store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup of the candy-coated chocolates and milk. Melt over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat. (5-7 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the sugar cookie mix according to the package directions. Divide the dough in half. Stir the melted chocolate mixture into one half of the dough until evenly combined. Form the chocolate dough into two 12-inch long rolls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Wrap each roll tightly in wax paper or foil and chill in the refrigerator until firm. (at least 2 hours)
03
StepDivide the plain dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of plain dough into a 12x6-inch rectangle. Place a chilled chocolate roll along the long edge of each rectangle. Roll the plain dough around the chocolate roll, pressing lightly to seal the seam. Repeat with the remaining dough. (20 minutes)
04
StepWrap each assembled roll in wax paper or foil. Chill in the refrigerator for another 2 hours, or until the dough is firm enough to slice. (2 hours)
05
StepPreheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
06
StepSlice each roll into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange two slices of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheets so that they are just touching. In the center of each chocolate circle, gently press one of the remaining candy-coated chocolates to create the owl's eyes. Where the two slices of dough touch, insert a cashew half to form the owl's beak. (25 minutes)
07
StepBake the cookies until the plain dough is lightly golden brown, approximately 8-10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
