Pilgrim Hat Cookies

These cookies are fun to make, eat and look at. Get the kids in the kitchen and let them help you make these snacks, which are sure to be a hit at your Thanksgiving get-together.


Ingredients:


Striped Fudge Shop cookies
Peanut butter cups
Vanilla icing
Red food coloring (or any square-shaped red candy such as Chiclets gum)


1. Turn cookies upside down so the stripes are facing down.

2. Dollop about 1 teaspoon of vanilla icing onto the tops of the peanut butter cups. Place peanut butter cup, icing side down, onto the center of the cookie and press down so the icing creates a white brim for the hat.

3. Using about 1/2 teaspoon of red food coloring, stir into 1/4 cup of vanilla icing to create red icing for the buckle of the hat. Spoon colored icing into a plastic bag or a cake decorating bag. Snip a small hole at the end of the bag with scissors and pipe a square-shaped buckle onto the white brim of the hats.
*If using square candy for the buckle, simply place candy pieces onto the brims and press down so it sticks to the icing.
Enjoy these festive sweet treats!
