Step 1
This is the most fun step of course, take a bite of the top 1/4th of your Nutter Butter! Carefully twist the two halves of the cookie to take it apart. Leave one half frosting side up (let’s call this cookie 1), and the other half frosting side down (cookie 2).

Step 2
Take your orange Tootsie Roll and squeeze it until it is completely flat. Cut the Tootsie Roll with either a knife or scissors, into four even pieces and place one on the top right of cookie 2 to make Max’s spot. The other pieces will be for the ears.

Step 3
Take your sour belt and cut off a tiny piece to make Max’s collar. Place on the bottom of cookie 1 so that it sticks off the bottom a bit. Also, take the two ears you just cut and place them sticking out the top of cookie

Step 4
Close the two halves of the cookie! Take your chocolate Tootsie Roll, break off tiny pieces and roll them into little eyebrows. Feel free to put them any way you’d like to give Max some different expression.
