Witches Hats
These are such cute cookies to make for Halloween!
Witches Hats
1 (13 oz.) pkg. fudge striped shortbread cookies
32 hershey milk chocolate kisses
1 (16 oz.) container vanilla frosting (See *note)
8 drops red food coloring
8 drops yellow food coloring
Unwrap the Hershey Kisses, and set them aside.
Add the entire container of vanilla frosting into a bowl, and stir it with a spoon.
Add the 8 drops of food coloring to the frosting, and mix it in well with the spoon, then add the 8 drops of yellow food coloring, and mix it in well with the spoon. You will have a pretty orange colored frosting.
Unwrap cookies in package, and taking one cookie at a time, hold the chocolate flat side of the cookie (facing upward) in hand.
Using a small spoon or the tip of a butter knife, apply a small amount of frosting in the middle of the cookie. (The frosting should cover the center hole of the cookie.) A tiny bit of the frosting will poke through the other side of the cookie, but that's ok, you won't really noticed that little bit of frosting peeking through.
Apply the chocolate kiss in the center of the frosting, and push it down lightly onto the flat side of the cookie, just till you see the frosting spreading out just a bit underneath the chocolate kiss.
I placed the cookies onto a large jelly roll pan for several hours, so the frosting will become a bit more dry, and to allow the chocolate kiss to adhere to the frosting. (If desired, you could line the jelly roll pan with wax paper before placing cookies onto pan. It also makes it easier for cleaning up afterwards.)
Store cookies side-by-side in a container, and cover with a lid. (There's no need to refrigerate the cookies.)
Yields: 32 cookies
*Note: You may have noticed there will be plenty of the orange frosting leftover. You can either double the above recipe (except for the frosting), to make 64 witch hat cookies, or apply the frosting between graham crackers to make another kind of cookie, or use it to frost a one layer cake or some cupcakes.

Thanks Dori! Glad to hear you like the recipes and the Witches Hats cookies, they were a fun cookie to make.

No I haven't. I have already made 2 other peanut butter cookies, so I am peanut buttered out! I like the idea of trying a softer peanut butter cookie, but I actually prefer a "crisp" cookies over the soft kind. Someday I will try your tip about making the softer cookie though!
Are you still watching DWTS? Aren't they all great this year?
Yes I am, but I did miss one week though! Ugh!! I am team Bindi and Derek all the way! Dori, who would you like to see win this year's competition?

MamaSqu, like you, I to love cookies, but have to admit, I don't make them as much as I use to.
By the way MamaSqu I am curious, what are some of your favorites?

Re: Witches Hats
Hello DG, right at the moment my go to cookie recipe is a modified butter cookie base that I am experimenting with. I started out with your basic ingredients, then altered and reduced the sugar down to almost zero. It's been fun to see just how far I can go and still get the best tasting, crisp textured, dunk worthy, breakfast cookie out of the fray. So far, the lowest I have gotten it is 3 teaspoons of brown sugar, 5 packets of Truvia, to an eighteen count batch. Doctor said I have to lay off the sweets, so I got creative. He has no idea that I have no intention of giving up my treats, even if I do reduce or eliminate the processed sugar in them.
I also have a slamming no bake oatmeal chocolate cookie recipe that is spectacular if you don't mind licking your fingers constantly, since these bad boys are messy as puppies. What's your favorite?

Re: Witches Hats
Hi DG,sorry the Dwts thread didn't last! Derek and Bindi are adorable together! I think hes enjoyed her being his partner than anyone else hes been with! It showed another side of Derek ! According to the posts on the DWTS board ,its changed a lot of peoples opinion of him! I always thought he was great ,one of the best! I cannot for the life of me ,pick a favorite this year! Maks was always my favorite ,he could have danced with Dracula and I would've voted for him! This year I'm good with whoever wins! I think Bindi and Derek will get it tho' Shes amazing,to come from never walking in heels and never danced to where she is! (with Dereks help) I'm glad she had him as her pro!

I tried this once, but it didn't work out quite as I had hoped. Not sure what did wrong.
