Scarecrows

Hello new friends. Aren't they just the cutest things you have ever seen? They just look at you and say, "hi. how are ya?" I love makng holiday themed treats!




What you'll need to make these little guys:

White frosting
Assorted sugar wafers (ours were about 2 1/2 inches long)
Candy corn
Mini chocolate chips
Bran cereal (I used Chow Mein noodles... only cause I had them already)
Chocolate sprinkles



Old-fashioned sour cream cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 cup chortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 2/3 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
