Witch Hat Cookies!

Have I mentioned Pinterest is awesome?  Yep, I think maybe once or twice...well it is!

My college roommate, Erica, posted this a few days ago and I thought they were so cute:

Without reading the description they looked complicated and I didn't even re-pin them, thinking I couldn't tackle them.  Then I took a second look and noticed the base is just a fudge stripe cookie!  That I can handle :)

To assemble these adorable witch hat cookies, all you need is a package of fudge stripe cookies, a bag of Hershey's kisses, and some orange icing.

Since you don't need a lot of icing, rather than making a batch of buttercream I picked up a small tube of orange decorating icing from the baking aisle at the grocery store.  Wilton makes tips that can be screwed on top of the icing tube for easy piping - so convenient!

Pardon the extremely blurry picture (the background is in focus -hahahahaha), but I just squeezed some icing onto the bottom of the Hershey's kiss...

...and plop it down onto the chocolate side of the cookie.  Plop is a technical term.

Repeat for however many cookies you need - this would be a great snack or dessert at a Halloween party!  It just takes a few minutes to prepare many cookies and they are so good!

What a fun idea...and whatever icing you don't use can be stored in the tube.  Just take off the piping tip and put the tube's lid back on to seal it up...

I was thinking you could change the colors of the icing, but there are limited options I guess...it's not like cupcakes where you can make them match any theme or holiday.  With witch hats you're pretty limited - but  maybe if you're having a Wicked-themed party you could change the icing to green?  The orange reminds me of The Worst Witch :)  LOVED that movie when I was little - we taped it and I wore that VHS out!

  1. I saw these and I am going to make them! I think green icing would be good too and maybe purple. Glad they were so easy.
