Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Vanilla wafer cookies
- 12 pieces Chocolate-covered peppermint patties
- 3 drops Green food coloring
- 3 drops Red food coloring
- 3 drops Yellow food coloring
- 0.5 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Vanilla frosting
- 1 tablespoon Honey or light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Place 12 vanilla wafers flat-side up on a clean working surface. These will serve as the 'bottom buns' for the cookie hamburgers.
In a small bowl, mix the shredded coconut with green food coloring until evenly coated to resemble 'lettuce.' Set aside.
Divide the vanilla frosting into two small bowls. In one bowl, add 3 drops of red food coloring and stir to create 'ketchup.' In the other, add 3 drops of yellow food coloring and mix to create 'mustard.' Place each colored frosting into piping bags or resealable plastic bags with a small corner cut off for easy application.
Take one chocolate-covered peppermint patty and place it on top of each vanilla wafer 'bottom bun' to act as the 'burger patty.'
Pipe a small amount of 'ketchup' and 'mustard' frosting around the edges of each peppermint patty to mimic condiment drips.
Sprinkle a small amount of green-colored coconut onto the frosting to resemble shredded lettuce.
Place another vanilla wafer on top of each 'burger' with the flat side facing down, creating the 'top bun.'
To resemble sesame seeds, lightly brush the tops of the 'top buns' with honey or light corn syrup using a pastry brush. Sprinkle a few sesame seeds on top and gently press to adhere.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Enjoy these delightful and creative hamburger cookies!
