Chocolate Peanut Butter Spritz Cookie Footballs

Don't put the cookie press away yet! I decided I'm going to challenge myself to a Spritz Cookie a Month in 2017. Yep, while some folks are focusing on eating better, exercising and losing weight, we here at Pig In Mud are committing to cookies:@) Oh the things I do for this blog-ha. So for January, it really wasn't a stretch for me to see a football shape in this cookie disc. How about whipping up some Chocolate Peanut Butter Spritz Cookie Footballs for the playoffs or Super Bowl. Once your team's out of it, it's all about the snacks *sniff*.

The laces were drawn on with a small white icing pen I bought at Walmart (on Christmas clearance).

Here are the two shapes I think would look most like footballs, I used the one on the right:
Don't hesitate to give the recipe a try no matter what disc you use, this is a tasty little cookie folks!
