Owl Cookies are a fun way to celebrate the beginning of the fall season.

Whooo says that fall isn’t just a wonderful time of the year!?!  You can really have fun with these cute little owl cookies.  You can make their eyes any color that you want, we kinda like the yellow, since owls are out at night and their eyes look kind of yellow.

A good friend gave me this recipe 29 years ago when I got married, and we have had fun making these cookies throughout the years.  Now your family can enjoy them either for Thanksgiving, or any time this fall. It is always a great time to celebrate our blessings, and be grateful for what we have.
