Recipe - Burger Cookies

August 23, 2017

As a child, one of my favorite  kid-friendly recipe was a  "hamburger" cookie dessert that was easy assembly and plenty of fun! As an adult, this is something I'm going to be trying with my almost 5 year old daughter very soon. I love the addition of the green coconut flakes for the "lettuce" . Let me know in the comments section if you make these with your kid(s), and if you make any variation to your "burger". Enjoy this adorable and fun summer treat!




Ingredients

1
cup shredded coconut
Green food coloring
20
vanilla wafer cookies
10
grasshopper fudge cookies
1
pouch (7 oz) Betty Crocker™ Decorating Cookie Icing red icing
1
pouch (7 oz) Betty Crocker™ Decorating Cookie Icing yellow icing


Steps

1. Place coconut in a small zip-top plastic bag and add some green food coloring. Shake around until food coloring has absorbed and turned the coconut green.

2. For each burger you will need two vanilla wafers as the buns. Place a small dot of frosting on the bottom bun and then place your grasshopper cookie on top to look like a hamburger patty.

3. Make a circle of red frosting on top of the grasshopper cookie to look like the tomato or ketchup. Drizzle a little yellow frosting for mustard.

4. Top generously with your green coconut to look like lettuce.


5. Finish by placing second vanilla wafer on top as the top burger bun
