Mini Burger Cookies

By pkvst2

Ingredients

• 1 ⁄4 cup canned vanilla frosting
• Yellow, red and green liquid food color
• 2 Tbsp sweetened shredded coconut
• 24 vanilla wafer cookies
• 12 small round chocolate peppermint candies (Peppermint Patties)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Put 1 Tbsp frosting in a small bowl; add yellow food color to tint yellow. Spoon into a small ziptop plastic bag and cut a tiny tip off one corner. Repeat with red food color. Stir green food color into coconut until coconut is green.
2. Place a small dab of vanilla frosting on flat side of 12 cookies. Top each with a peppermint candy “burger,” pressing lightly to adhere. Pipe on yellow and red frosting to resemble mustard and ketchup. Sprinkle with coconut “lettuce,” pressing to adhere. Place a small dab of vanilla frosting on flat side of remaining cookies and press, frosting side down, gently on coconut.

Planning Tip: Can be made up to 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature
