Easy Penguin Cookies: No Bake Christmas Treats That Kids Love

Jump to Recipe

It never fails that I need a last minute holiday dessert every single year. Not only is it the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s also the craziest time of year for our family. That’s when I really like to keep things simple in the kitchen. I know I’ll be spending more time making things, so let’s keep it hassle free. These Easy Penguin Cookies are super cute, quick to make and kids LOVE them. You can even let the kids help out in creating them!

Keep it simple! These no bake Christmas cookies are an adorable penguin shape. Kids can help make these Christmas cookies and they're perfect for last minute events. #ChristmasCookies #HolidayCookies #WinterCookies #Penguins #NoBakeChristmas

You can find the candy melts and cookies at your local grocery store. I love buying mine through Amazon or through Walmart. If you don’t want to use the sunflower seeds for the feet, opt for mini M&M candies instead. You’ll get the same effect!

How To Make These No Bake Easy Penguin Cookies

Use a bread knife to cut a cookie in half. Cut each half into thirds to create 6 wedges. This will give you enough wings for 3 cookies. Set aside.

Lay one cookie flat on a cutting board. Add a small amount of candy melts to a resealable sandwich bag but do not seal. Microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds. Knead and flip the bag over and return to the microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat until candy is melted. Seal the bag and cut a small tip in the end.
 
Pipe a “penguin heart shape face/body” onto a cookie, and use a knife to smooth it.

Store them in an air-tight container, in a single layer. Be careful not to stack the cookies and ruin your penguin face.  They’re great for school holiday parties where you need to bring a non-religious option. Kids love the cute design!

  • Small candy eyes (1/4" or 7mm)

Instructions

  1. Use a bread knife to cut a cookie in half. Cut each half into thirds to create 6 wedges. This will give you enough wings for 3 cookies. Set aside.
  2. Lay one cookie flat on a cutting board. Add a small amount of candy melts to a resealable sandwich bag but do not seal.
  3. Microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds. Knead and flip the bag over and return to the microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat until candy is melted. Seal the bag and cut a small tip in the end.

Notes

Candy melts harden quickly, so you may want to work on one cookie at a time. And in very small batches of candy melts in the bag.

If you cannot find candy coated sunflower seeds, I'd suggest using mini M&Ms.
