Cookie Baking Night 08/09/10

Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attendance this evening: Ethan and Carissa (Ethan has been away for awhile with soccer practices and soccer games--it was good to have him back). Tonight we made the ever-so-fun hamburger cookie. I documented the process in case you would like to try this with your gang at home sometime. It's a good summertime recipe because it doesn't require an oven or stove to make it.



The main ingredients in this recipe are small peppermint patty candies (unwrapped, of course) and vanilla wafer cookies. You will also need vanilla frosting and food coloring.

Divide the frosting into two bowls. Color one bowl of frosting yellow and one bowl of frosting red (that will be your ketchup and your mustard).

Spread a layer of "ketchup" (red frosting) on one cookie, a layer of "mustard" (yellow frosting) on another cookie, then sandwich a mint candy between the frosted cookies.

And you will have yourself some hamburger cookies. Always a hit!
