Ingredients

• 24 pieces Vanilla wafer cookies
• 12 pieces Chocolate-covered peppermint patties
• 3 drops Green food coloring
• 3 drops Red food coloring
• 3 drops Yellow food coloring
• 0.5 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Vanilla frosting
• 1 tablespoon Honey or light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Place 12 vanilla wafers flat-side up on a clean working surface. These will serve as the 'bottom buns' for the cookie hamburgers.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the shredded coconut with green food coloring until evenly coated to resemble 'lettuce.' Set aside.

Step 3

Divide the vanilla frosting into two small bowls. In one bowl, add 3 drops of red food coloring and stir to create 'ketchup.' In the other, add 3 drops of yellow food coloring and mix to create 'mustard.' Place each colored frosting into piping bags or resealable plastic bags with a small corner cut off for easy application.

Step 4

Take one chocolate-covered peppermint patty and place it on top of each vanilla wafer 'bottom bun' to act as the 'burger patty.'

Step 5

Pipe a small amount of 'ketchup' and 'mustard' frosting around the edges of each peppermint patty to mimic condiment drips.

Step 6

Sprinkle a small amount of green-colored coconut onto the frosting to resemble shredded lettuce.

Step 7

Place another vanilla wafer on top of each 'burger' with the flat side facing down, creating the 'top bun.'

Step 8

To resemble sesame seeds, lightly brush the tops of the 'top buns' with honey or light corn syrup using a pastry brush. Sprinkle a few sesame seeds on top and gently press to adhere.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Enjoy these delightful and creative hamburger cookies!
