    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set and light golden brown. While warm, lightly press 2 chocolate chips into each cookie for eyes and gumdrop for nose. Cool 3 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Let stand until chocolate chips are set, about 15 minutes. Store between sheets of waxed paper in tightly covered container.

  • Candy-coated chocolate candies may be substituted for the gumdrop nose.
  • Keep dough well-chilled for easy slicing.
