Kookie Kat Sundaes
Betty Crocker Boys and Girls Cookbook, circa 1970

You will need:

your favorite ice cream
small paper or plastic dishes
colored candy-coated milk chocolate candies
small round cookies (vanilla or chocolate)
toasted coconut (optional)

Place a big scoop of ice cream in each dish.  This is the head for your Kookie Kat.

Use candies for eyes and mouth. For ears, push cookies into ice cream.  If you like, sprinkle a little toasted coconut for hair.

Serve immediately.
