A few days ago I headed to Starbucks for some of their red cup action and noticed that they also had a wide array of holiday goodies. Usually there are frosted snowmen and cranberry bliss bars and a bunch of things in between. However, this year their new adorable feature is an iced penguin cookie. The cookie is a sugar cookie base with a mountain of icing on it including a little iced scarf tied around its neck. I think they're just adorable, however, their price is close to $2, so it's a little splurge for a few minutes of cute eats.
Have you guys seen these in your Starbucks? If so, have you tried them? What'd you think?

My sister bought me one, and I loved it. It was partially the cuteness, partially all the sugary icing.
1Cute! I still need to go to Krispy Kreme and get the adorable snowman doughnuts over there.
2This looks so cute! I don't think I'd want to eat it because of that! All of that icing would probably send me on a sugar high for days!
3It is adorable ... but knowing starbucks probably has your sugar/fat quota for the day.
Where can I find penguin cookie cutters??? I want to make my own!
4They are good but my Starbucks carried them for a short time and won't bring them back. I wish they were better at keeping their food items in stock. I always seem to get to like something and boom it's no longer being carried.
5thats adorable
6i love them! i think that it's good to change up the token holiday characters - and to be honest - $2 for a designer cookie - that's really not that bad
7That is too cute! I haven't noticed these at my Starbucks...I was just there yesterday a.m. too.
8cute!
9Hahaha sooo cute!
10Awwww I ♥ penguins!
11These are so cute! I keep seeing them, but haven't taken the risk to buy one. I often find that Starbucks' cookies, cakes, etc aren't very fresh. I end up being disappointed so I'd rather get a cute cookie at a bakery.
12Aww! So cute!
13I had one the other day and felt somewhat guilty about eating it, since it was so cute. Delicious though.
14so cute! its making me hungry
15Stocking stuffer! My daughter loves this website, Club Penguin, I'm getting her one of these. And one for me too!
16Very cute!
17very cute
18those are so cute! I haven't seen them, but I have seen the crack-I mean sugar-coated donut. what is up with that?!
19My fiance brought one of these home for me last night! I haven't eaten it yet because it's so cute. That should last another day or so, but then I know I'll suddenly attack it.
20I tried one, and, though the cute factor was through the roof, the taste was very disappointing... overly sweet and not fresh at all- it reminded me of those cookies that come wrapped in cellophane and have expiration dates in the next decade.
Oh well. Fun to look at, anyway!
21yes! They are adorable, but not that great of a treat, the cookie itself didn't taste very fresh, and there was too much icing. But still very cute!
22cute!
23i bought the boy and girl just the other day
24A-dor-a-ble
25These are cute, but I don't go to Starbucks!
26Wambalus - it actually looks to me like they used a snowman cookie cutter and then just piped on the wings to come inside of the arms. I'd say maybe try and find a snowman cookie cutter and start with that?
27They're delicious! They're buttery, the frosting is perfect, and they're great with tea.
28You think those are cute? Just wait until you make your own penguin cookies.
29Anyone who thinks those are cute needs to try it themself. You can get a great penguin cookie cutter and recipe here.
30These are sooooo cute...I'll definitely be trying these!
31Aw man! If Only I Could Eat Cookies! I would totally take a BITE outta that bad boy! It looks AMAZING!
32anyone seen these in the commercial
