So this is a fun idea I found somewhere - probably Family Fun (I can't remember) - and we used this for a "Hats Off" church event. You could make these cookies for a springtime party, though, or any occasion you want.
So you use those fudge stripe cookies, peanut butter cups, and colored frosting. KIDS can do this! Put a big blob of frosting on the peanut butter cup, press it down onto the cookie and let it smoosh out the sides. (smoosh is TOTALLY a word) That's your "ribbon" for the brim of the hat. Then pipe on a bow with frosting using a round cake decorating tip, and top it off with a flower blob-thing with the "star" decorating tip. Flower blobs aren't hard to do and if you were to play with the frosting on some waxed paper for a minute, you'd figure out how you want your flower to look.
You don't have to be a pro - just do enough to get by in order for your cookies to look edible! And, seriously, folks - how can you mess up a fudge cookie, peanut butter cups and FROSTING?! You just can't go wrong here.
These are adorable! They could also be pilgrim hats for Thanksgiving! (By the way, I've been a long time reader, but I don't think I've ever commented. Love your blog! And I'm an Arizonian also - living in Iowa right now. But I'm from the East Valley down Phoenix way. Although tons of my ancestors are from Thatcher and Safford. If your family has been there for more than 3 or 4 generations, we may even be distantly related! Too random? I know, it's a weakness.)
ReplyDeleteI love those hats, people are so creative! Thanks for that! I think I will save that for Thanksgiving for a party favor!
ReplyDeleteLove the cookies! My hubby's bday is on St. Patrick's day and those little hats remind me of leprechauns :) I just might have to try them out!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these and I think it is something that I can actually do!!! I know I can find a reason to use these at some point! They are just too darn cute!!
ReplyDeleteThose are so F.U.N! I love them! Now, if I had to take them somewhere to serve I can tell you they likely wouldn't make it b/c I'd eat them all~ yummy!

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these adorable treats! I tried my hand at them for St. Patrick's Day. Yours are cuter - I need more practice with piping and a smaller tip. But, I had so much fun making them! I even blogged about them today! Now who is going to eat all this??? ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your blog header...where or where did you get it?
