some help from the little ones.

Assorted colored sugars * Mini chocolate chips * Candy corn *
Red furit leather

* Hand-shaped template or cookie cutter * Small resealable
plastic bag * Scissors

In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and cream of tartar.
Using a wooden spoon, stir butter mixture, one-third at a time,
into flour mixture until blended. (The mixutre will be crumbly.)

plastic wrap. Refrigerate unitl firm, about 2 hours.

out cookies.
Transfer cutouts, 2 inches apart, to the prepared baking sheets.
Reroll scraps for additional cookies.
Bake until lightly browned
around the edges, 8-10 minutes; transfer to wire racks to cool
completely.

Sprinkle "feathers" with coloerd sugar. Pipe a dot for the "eye"
on each thmub.
Place a mini chocolate chip on each frosting
"eye." Cut a candy corn for each nose and attach to thumb with a
little frosting.
Using scissors, cut the fruit leather on its backing paper into
