Disney Pixar's hit movie Cars was big but everyone predicts the June 24, 2011 release of Cars 2 will be colossal!


The Buzz:

Star racecar Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and the incomparable tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy) take their friendship to exciting new places in “Cars 2” when they head overseas to compete in the first ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage.


Mater finds himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and
towing the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master British super spy Finn McMissile (voice of Michael Caine) and the stunning rookie field spy Holley Shiftwell (voice of Emily Mortimer).


Mater’s action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. The fast-paced fun includes a colorful new all-car cast, complete with menacing villains and international racing competitors.


You can be sure that this will be one rollicking ride down the fast track!



To get the family excited about this upcoming release, why don't you whip up a batch of Tow Mater cookie treats?


Recipe for Tow Mater Cookie Treats:

Ingredients

• Template for Tow Mater Cookies
• Sugar cookie dough
• Rolling pin
• Flour
• Wax paper
• Baking sheet
• Cooling rack
• Marshmallows
• Confectioner's sugar
• Kitchen knife
• Decorator's icing
• Tootsie Roll candies
• Green Dots candies
• Chocolate Chips
• Yellow hard candies
• Gummy Life Savers


Instructions:

1. Print the template and cut out the pieces.
2. Roll the cookie dough out to ¼-inch thickness on a flour-dusted sheet of wax paper. For each
cookie, use the template pieces as a pattern to cut a tow truck body, a front bumper, and a side
view mirror bar from the dough. Bake and cool the cookie pieces according to the recipe
directions.
3. For each tow truck, place a marshmallow on a piece of wax paper dusted with confectioner's
sugar and use a rolling pin to roll it as thin as possible. Then use the template pieces to cut out a
marshmallow windshield and two marshmallow teeth.
4. Likewise, roll flat the Tootsie Roll candies (if the candy is too stiff, you can microwave it for up to 5 seconds to soften it). Use the template pieces to cut out a candy mouth and windshield trim for each cookie.
5. To assemble each Tow Mater treat, first use dabs of decorator icing to stick the windshield and mouth pieces in place. Then top the windshield with the trim piece. For eyes, slice two circle
shapes from a green Dots candy. Then press a chocolate chip, tip down, into the center of each
circle. Use dabs of frosting to hold the eyes in place atop the windshield. Next, stick the teeth
atop the mouth. Add a yellow hard candy for a "shining" headlight and a Gummy Life Saver for a
broken headlight.
6. Use decorator's icing to attach a front bumper to each truck. Then stick the side view mirror bar to the back of the cookie so that the ends extend beyond the cab above the headlights. For
mirrors, slice another Tootsie Roll in half vertically and stick one halve to each end of the mirror
bar.

Vroom Vroom....and the countdown begins!
