Dracula's Dentures

By cwyorkiex3

My biggest issue with Halloween food is that although it may look cool, rarely does it actually taste good. I knew when I saw these that not only were they unique but they were made from chocolate chip cookies and frosting, something I could totally sink my teeth into. These took 2nd place by Lori Fillmore in the Nestle 2010 Spooktacular Baking Contest. Thanks for the creative recipe!

You can make these as easy or hard as you want. You can make your own dough or buy it; make your own frosting or tint some store bought.

Ingredients

• 1 package (18.25 ounces) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough or your favorite cookie recipe
• 1/2 cup prepared vanilla frosting, tinted red
• 1 3/4 cups miniature marshmallows
• 48 slivered almonds

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare cookies as directed on package or according to your favorite recipe. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely. Cut each cookie in half for a total of 48 halves.

Frost the bottoms of all cookie halves with frosting. Place 6 marshmallow teeth around curved perimeter of 24 halves. For additional support, an additional marshmallow can be placed behind the teeth. Top with remaining 24 halves. Insert two almond slivers in between teeth for fangs. If fangs do not adhere, dip tips into frosting.
