- 1 Heat the oven to the specified temperature for the cookie dough. Meanwhile, print and cut out the template pieces.
- 2 Roll out the dough on a floured surface to ¼-inch thickness and then use the template and kitchen knife to cut out a bunch of Sparky heads. Bake the cookies according to the recipe directions and transfer them to the cooling rack. Next, cut a pair of cookie dough ears for each head. Bake (they won’t take as long as the heads) and cool them as well.
- 3 Melt ½ cup or so of chocolate chips or Candy Melts in a microwavable bowl, heating them for 10- to 15-second intervals until they are soft enough to stir into a smooth consistency.
- 4 Attach a pair of cookie ears to each head. First, flip the ears over so the flat undersides face up. Spread melted chocolate on the lower ¼ inch of each ear, and then stick them in place to the underside of the head.
- 5 Now add eyes. Working with one cookie at a time, spoon two nickel-size dollops of melted chocolate where the eyes go. Gently press a Mentos candy onto each dollop so that the chocolate oozes out a bit underneath it. Use the tip of a toothpick to add tiny chocolate pupils to the eyes. (Note: Your can reheat the chocolate in the bowl or melt a new batch, as needed.)
- 6 Attach a raisin nose to the tip of each cookie with a bit of chocolate “glue.”
- 7 For the finishing touch, use the toothpick to apply chocolate eyebrows. Likewise, add a curved chocolate cut line on each Sparky cookie nose and embellish it with a few sprinkle stitches before the chocolate hardens.
