Ingredients

  • 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Sugar Cookie Dough
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 32 large marshmallows
  • 4 Starburst™ strawberry-flavored chewy fruit candies, unwrapped
  • 1 container (12 oz) fluffy white whipped ready-to-spread frosting
  • Pink or red food color
  • 32 pink or black jelly beans, cut in half lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons pink sanding sugar

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, mix cookie dough and flour with hands until well mixed. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER COMBINING WITH FLOUR.) Reshape dough into 9x1 1/2-inch log. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes.

    Remove plastic wrap. Cut dough into 32 slices. Place slices on ungreased cookie sheet.

    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Meanwhile, slightly flatten 32 marshmallows.

    Remove from oven, and top each cookie with marshmallow. Return to oven, and bake 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly softened. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Step 
    5
    Meanwhile, on microwavable plate, microwave 1 strawberry-flavored chewy fruit candy uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds until soft but not melted. Flatten candy with fingers to 2x2-inch square. Cut into 8 equal strips. Twist strips into corkscrew tails with one tapered edge. Repeat with remaining 3 candies.
  • Step

    In medium microwavable bowl, tint frosting with food color to desired shade of pink; stir until well blended. Microwave uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until soft but not translucent.

    To make pig butt, frost 1 cookie with frosting. Attach 2 jelly bean halves, cut sides down, to bottom of cookie for feet. Sprinkle top of cookie with 1/4 teaspoon sanding sugar. Attach 1 corkscrew tail to center of cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies.
