If you're looking for a quick & easy Halloween treat to make this year, then these Witch Hat Cookies are it. So simple to make that you can even get the kids involved with the easy ingredients like store-bought cookies, frosting, and Hershey Kisses.
Arrange the cookies on a single layer on a cookie sheet.*I like to line the cookie sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
1 package (10-12 oz) fudge covered cookies
Divide the white frosting into small bowls, one bowl for each color you plan to use. Add the food coloring to the frosting (one color per bowl) and stir well until desired color is achieved.
1 container (16 oz) white frosting, neon gel food coloring
Add each frosting color into a piping bag (with a really small tip) or a sandwich Ziploc bag with the bottom corner snipped off.
Place a dollop of frosting that is about the size of the bottom of a Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie. Press one chocolate kiss on top of the frosting and press down slowly. As you press down, the frosting will create a ring around the Kiss.
Hershey Kisses
Add one mini m&m to the band of frosting on each cookie to create the buckle.
mini M&M's
Allow the frosting to set for 20 minutes at room temperature before serving.
Notes
Fudge Covered Cookies : Use any round shaped, fudge covered cookies for this recipe. I recommend using either fudge covered Oreos, fudge covered Nutter Butters (the round ones), mint grasshopper cookies, fudge covered peanut butter cookies, or Fudge Stripe cookies (be sure to turn them upside down so the fudge covered part is showing). Ingredient Amounts : Depending on what size package of cookies you use, and how many cookies are in that pack, will determine how many Hershey Kisses you need and mini m&m's. Just count the amount of cookies in the package and make sure you have enough Hershey kisses and mini M&M's for each cookie.
