Witch Hat Cookies Ingredients
- Oreo Fudge Covered Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (12 cookies, 1 box): Creates the brim of each witch hat while adding a rich chocolate cookie base. Fudge-covered Oreos work best because they have a smooth surface for decorating.
- Hershey Milk Chocolate Kisses (12 kisses): Forms the pointed top of each witch hat and add classic milk chocolate flavor.
- Wilton Icing Writer Decorating Tubes (1 box): Acts as the edible glue to attach the chocolate kisses and creates the decorative band around each hat. Any tube decorating icing works well.
- Halloween sprinkles (1 container): Adds festive color and texture to each witch hat. Black and orange nonpareils create a classic Halloween look, but any Halloween sprinkle mix can be used.
How to Make Witch Hat Cookies
ASSEMBLE. Using the icing, attach an unwrapped Hershey Kiss onto the top center of each fudge covered Oreo.
DECORATE. To decorate, ice a line around each Hershey Kiss (so the icing is visible) and cover with Halloween sprinkles. (I used black and orange nonpareils).
Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- Let the icing set for 15 to 20 minutes before stacking or serving the cookies so the chocolate kisses stay in place.
- Unwrap all of the chocolate kisses before you begin to make assembly quick and easy.
- Work on parchment paper for easy cleanup and to catch extra sprinkles.
- Gently press the chocolate kiss into the icing so it adheres without cracking the cookie coating.
