These Ladybug Cookies are super easy to make.  I make them with chocolate cookie dough as the base, but you can actually make them with sugar cookie dough if you want, although you may have to change their designs a little bit.

I feel like these Ladybug Cookies are the type of treat that you see on Pinterest, but they are easy enough that you know you aren’t going to end up with a Pinterest fail.  That’s the kind of dessert that I need!   Plus, how much fun will your kids have when they get to create these adorable little treats? They are going to love it!

INGREDIENTS OF LADYBUG COOKIES

  • Chocolate Cookie Dough
  • Red Melting Chocolate
  • White Melting Chocolate
  • Candy Eyes
  • Black Gel Decorating Icing

VARIATIONS TO LADYBUG COOKIES

  • Yes, I guess technically ladybugs are red, but you can decorate these with any colors you choose!
  • Feel free to use a sugar cookie dough instead of you don’t have chocolate on hand.
