Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to use as your workspace and set aside.
Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
Separate the melted candy into two bowls. Add a few drops of pink food coloring to one bowl and blue food coloring to the other. Stir until colors are evenly spread.
Hold a Nutter Butter cookie horizontally. To make the 'swaddle,' dip the bottom two-thirds of the cookie into the pink or blue-colored candy melt. Gently shake off excess candy coating.
Place the dipped cookie onto the prepared baking sheet while the candy coating is still wet. Sprinkle white nonpareils over the coated portion for added texture and decoration.
While the coating is still slightly sticky, add mini candy eyes to the upper undipped portion of the cookie to form the baby’s face.
Using the black edible marker or gel, carefully draw a small dot for the baby’s nose and a curved line for a smile.
Repeat the process with all 20 Nutter Butter cookies, alternating between pink and blue swaddles as desired.
Allow the decorated cookies to set completely at room temperature, about 20 minutes, before serving or packaging for the baby shower.
