Ingredients:

White Frosting

Strawberry Jelly

Instructions:

Arrange the cookies on parchment paper or a plate.
Spread about 1/4 teaspoon of white frosting in the center of each cookie, forming a 1-inch square. Use the cookie’s lines as a guide if desired.
Add a small dot of strawberry jelly in the center of the frosting, about one-third the size of a Skittle, so it looks like a drop of blood.
