Calico Cat Cookies

This super cute Calico Cat Cookies have gained big THUMBS UP from my family. The cookies are done using the rub-in method and the cookies are shaped using a super cute cat cookie cutter. 

I was lazy to use my hands to do the rubbing-in and relied on my k-beater to do the job. The most tricky part of the preparing the cookie was the unmoulding as the tail tended to break easily. But not to worry, I just used the handle of a spoon to gently push out the broken tail and joined it back to the cat. Haha! They will come together when they are baking!

It’s fun making this cookie. Definitely a great way to to this with your family too!
