Description

These whimsical Witch Hat Cookies are a delightful and easy-to-make treat perfect for Halloween or themed parties. Using fudge-covered cookies as the base, they are decorated with colorful frosting, chocolate kisses, and mini yellow M&Ms to create adorable edible witch hats that will impress kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 packet fudge-covered cookies (approximately 18 cookies)

Frosting and Decorations

  • 16 ounces white frosting
  • Food coloring (various colors, to tint frosting)
  • 18 chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
  • 18 mini yellow M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Arrange Cookies: Lay out the fudge-covered cookies in a single layer on a baking tray to prepare for decorating.
  2. Color Frosting: Divide the white frosting into several small bowls and add different food coloring drops to each to create various vibrant colors for decorating.
  3. Fill Piping Bags: Transfer each colored frosting into separate piping bags by cutting off a small portion of one corner to allow for easy frosting application.
  4. Apply Frosting: Squeeze a dollop of colored frosting onto the center of each cookie, which will act as the adhesive for the decorations.
  5. Attach Chocolate Kiss: Press a chocolate kiss gently but firmly into the frosting on each cookie to form the pointed top of the witch’s hat.
  6. Add Buckle Detail: Place one mini yellow M&M onto the frosting in front of each chocolate kiss to resemble a decorative buckle on the witch hat.
  7. Set the Cookies: Let the decorated cookies sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to allow the frosting to set and hold the decorations in place before serving.

Notes

  • Use different food coloring combinations to create multi-colored hats for a festive look.
  • Make sure to press the chocolate kisses gently to avoid breaking them or crushing the cookie base.
  • If frosting is too stiff, warm it slightly to make piping easier.
  • These cookies are best consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
  • Substitute yellow M&Ms with other round candies if unavailable.
