Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Sugar cookie dough
- 1 box Brownie mix
- 1 cup Butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 bottle Yellow food coloring
- 1 bottle Green food coloring
- 1 bottle Red food coloring
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll out sugar cookie dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter, approximately 3 inches in diameter, to cut 24 circles for the 'burger buns.' Place on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let them cool completely.
Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Spread the batter evenly in a 9x13-inch baking pan and bake as directed. Let cool completely. Once cooled, use the same round cookie cutter to cut out 12 'patties.'
In a large bowl, make the buttercream by beating the butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Separate the buttercream into three bowls. Use yellow food coloring in one bowl to create 'cheese,' green in the second bowl to create 'lettuce,' and red in the third bowl to mimic 'ketchup.'
To assemble the cookies, spread a thin layer of 'yellow cheese' frosting on the flat side of 12 sugar cookies. Place a brownie 'patty' on top of the frosting. Add small dollops of green and red frosting to create 'lettuce' and 'ketchup.'
Top each assembly with another sugar cookie (flat side down) to resemble a burger bun. If desired, brush the tops with a tiny bit of water and sprinkle sesame seeds to complete the look.
For the 'fries,' roll out the remaining sugar cookie dough and cut into long, thin strips to mimic French fries. Bake these strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 8-10 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
Serve the cookies and 'fries' on a platter for a whimsical, sweet treat!
