Easy Penguin Cookies

To celebrate the completion of a unit on penguins, I volunteered to make some cookies for Ava's class. After I had already volunteered, I realized I didn't have a cutter!

 I thought about all the different cutters I had and how I could somehow transform one of them into a cookie that would somewhat resemble a penguin.  I guess it was a good thing i still hadn't put my Easter cutters away yet because when I saw the egg/oval cutter, the wheels started turning!

Next, I turned to Pinterest to see if anyone else had the same idea.  Lo and behold, they had!  Here's what I came up with:

I used this recipe for the cookies and even though I'm a Royal Icing kinda girl, I was running low on meringue powder, so gave glaze icing another try.  They were super simple and the kids loved them!
