# Woodland Squirrel Cookies These Adorable Cookie Designs Replicate Squirrels Frolicking in the Snow By M | Published 2015-01-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-designs References: [bakerella](http://www.bakerella.com/snow-cute-sugar-cookie-squirrels/) & [bakerella](http://www.bakerella.com) Talented baker and blogger Bakerella created these super cute squirrel sugar cookie designs that showcase the lovable little animals playing around in a field of snow. These sweet treats are perfect to cook up for the winter and serve to guests. The sugar cookie recipe begins with swapping out traditional flour for a cup of unsweetened cocoa so that the cookies have a chocolate flavoring and a brown coloring. Once the dough is cut into several squirrel silhouettes, either using a cookie cutter or a print out from the Internet, you can bake them up and decorate them to your liking. Bakerella even cuts some of the [chocolate sugar cookie dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-brookie) into rounds with a slit to create a base for the squirrel cookie to stand up in. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Adorable Cookie Designs:** Exquisite and charming cookie designs that captivate consumers with their cute and playful aesthetics. - **Winter-themed Treats:** Seasonal treats that evoke a sense of warmth and joy, perfect for winter celebrations and entertaining. - **Creative Baking Techniques:** Innovative methods of incorporating uncommon ingredients or utilizing unconventional shapes to create unique baked goods. ### Where This Applies - **Bakery:** Bakery businesses can capitalize on the demand for adorable and visually appealing cookie designs to attract customers and differentiate themselves from competitors. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can offer winter-themed treats, including the woodland squirrel cookies, as a captivating and memorable addition to seasonal events and gatherings. - **Online Recipe Platforms:** Online recipe platforms and bloggers can feature creative baking techniques, such as the use of cocoa powder and unique cookie cutouts, to provide their audience with engaging and inspiring content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hand-Decorated Dog Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woofkies.md) - [Seasonal Cut-Out Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-cutout-cookies.md) - [Nature-Inspired Cookie Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-forest-cookie-can.md) - [Frosted Dog Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-bone-frosted-paws.md) - [Turtle-Themed Baked Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtle-cookie.md) - [Crispy Easter Candy Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadbury-mini-eggs-cookies.md) - [Wintery Soft-Baked Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-baked-sugar-with-sprinkles-icing-cookies.md) - [Festive Cookie Dough Pucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-cookie-dough-pucks.md) - [Advanced Baking Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reach-for-the-stars-shaker-cookie-kit.md)
