Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 package chocolate wafer cookies
- 1 package Hershey's Kisses
- 1 tube orange icing
- 1 cup candy corn
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you plan to warm the chocolate wafer cookies slightly. This step is optional, but it can help the cookies adhere better to the chocolate kisses.
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 package of chocolate wafer cookies, 1 package of Hershey's Kisses, 1 tube of orange icing, and 1 cup of candy corn. Make sure you have a clean workspace to prepare your cookies.
- On a clean, flat surface or a baking sheet, arrange the chocolate wafer cookies. These will be the base of your witch hat cookies.
- If you chose to warm the cookies, place them in the oven for about 3-5 minutes until they are slightly soft. Remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute.
- While the cookies are still warm, take a Hershey's Kiss and apply a small amount of orange icing to the bottom of the Kiss. This will act as glue to attach the Kiss to the cookie.
- Press the Hershey's Kiss firmly onto the center of each chocolate wafer cookie. The icing should help secure the Kiss in place.
- Once all the Kisses are attached, take the tube of orange icing and pipe a small amount around the base of each Kiss to create a decorative band that resembles a witch's hat.
- Next, take a piece of candy corn and place it point-side up on top of the Hershey's Kiss to represent the tip of the witch's hat. Press it down gently to ensure it sticks.
- Repeat the process until all 24 cookies are assembled. You can arrange them on a serving platter or keep them on the baking sheet for display.
- Allow the icing to set for a few minutes before serving. These cookies can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Serve your Easy Witch Hat Cookies at parties, Halloween gatherings, or as a fun treat for kids. Enjoy!
