How to make Easy Penguin Cookies

Using a double boiler, melt your milk chocolate. (You can also use the microwave for this step, heating for 20 seconds at a time and stirring in between. Be sure to use a microwave safe bowl and handle with care, as bowl may be hot).

While chocolate is melting cut orange Sour Patch Kids in half — these will be your penguin feet.

Cut orange Mike & Ike candies in half — these will be your penguin noses.

Once chocolate is melted drop a nutterbutter into the melted chocolate, using a fork flip the cookie over so that both sides get coated. (Chopsticks also work really well for this step!)

Allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl, then place cookie on parchment paper or silicone baking mat to dry.

Pro Tip: We love these reusable silicone baking mats because our finished treats slide right off – no sticking!

Allow coated cookies to set for a few minutes, then place a white chocolate wafer onto the lower half of the cookie to make the penguin’s belly.

Take a Tootsie roll and flatten into a long strip by rolling and pulling it. Cut into 1″ pieces and then curve slightly to form the wings. Press into the wet chocolate.

On the top half of the cookie, place two edible eyes and one of the orange Mike & Ike halves (round side facing up) for the nose.

Place two orange Sour Patch Kids halves on the bottom of the cookie for the feet.

Repeat steps with remaining cookies until all milk chocolate has been used.

Let cookies harden for at least 1 hour before serving.

  1. I have seen many directions for the penguin cookies, and in all pictures they show wings but fail to mention what the wings are made out of, please include them in the directions, I think the wings make them even cuter.

    1. Hi Cindy!
      The penguin’s wings are made out of Tootsie Rolls: “Take a Tootsie roll and flatten into a long strip by rolling and pulling it. Cut into 1″ pieces and then curve slightly to form the wings. Press into the wet chocolate.”
