Instructions
-
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 10-inch cake pan and an 8-inch cake pan by greasing them with nonstick spray, lining with parchment paper, and spraying on top.
- Divide approximately 1 ¾ packages of softened refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough to form a 10-inch even circle. Shape the remaining 1 ¼ package of cookie dough into the 8-inch cake pan.
- Bake until golden brown, around 15-17 minutes for the smaller cookie and about 20 minutes for the larger one. Allow them to cool completely in the pans.
- Once fully cooled, loosen the cookies by running an offset spatula around the edges.
- Position both cookie pieces on a large platter or cutting board.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with an #806 tip with vanilla frosting. Pipe a white border on both cookies, then fill the inside until covered. Spread evenly with an offset spatula.
- Color the remaining frosting grey using black gel food coloring. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with an #804 tip.
- Create small indentations with a 3.5” circle cutter on the larger frosted cookie - one complete circle in the center left, a semi-circle in the upper right, and a semi-circle in the bottom right.
- Place orange slice candy dots upright over the indentations to form the circle and semi-circles.
- Arrange four candy dots inside the complete circle, facing inwards. Repeat the pattern with the semi-circles, adjusting the number of candy dots for even spacing.
- Pipe a straight grey line near the bottom of the head and a curved line near the top.
- Add small lines of grey frosting between some of the orange dots in the inner circle.
- Create a curved line of candy dots below the grey line. Then place three candy dots above the straight grey line on the far-left side and two dots on the far-right side.
- Unroll the black licorice wheels to have one slightly larger than the other. Position them in the center of the head, with the larger wheel slightly off-center and the smaller wheel on the lower right side.
