Pilgrim Hat Cookies Food

PILGRIM HAT COOKIES

Steps:

• Place cookies on work surface; squeeze a dime size dot of frosting in the center of each cookie.
• Unwrap and invert peanut butter cups on frosting, press down gently.
• Let dry overnight or at least 10 - 15 minutes until frosting is set. If drying overnight please store in an airtight container so the cookies do not get soggy.
• Using round piping tip or writing tip, (if you don't have tips you can make your own frosting, put it in a ziplock sandwich bag and just cut the corner of the bag) pipe a hat band (single line) with frosting around the peanut butter cup and a square buckle.
• Let frosting set before storing.
• My son insists we should use yellow frosting so it would be correct but I think the orange that the directions call for looks nicer than yellow.
