Santa Hat Cookies

Simple cute cookies that are perfect for the Christmas Season


Ingredients

1 package Pillsbury™ ready-to-bake sugar cookies

1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme (1 1/2 cups)

1 cup butter, softened

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon red gel food color

48 miniature marshmallows

White candy sprinkles

Step 1) Heat oven to 350°F. Cut each cookie in half. Roll each half into a ball. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Step 2)
 Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set and golden brown. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheets before removing to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 10 minutes.

Step 3) To make frosting, in large bowl, beat marshmallow crème and softened butter with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Beat in powdered sugar until fluffy. Add food color, and beat until well combined.

Step 4) Place frosting in resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut off 1 tiny corner of bag. Pipe frosting, piling up in hat shape, on top of each cookie.

Step 5) Top each hat with miniature marshmallow. Gently press sprinkles around bottom edge of each hat so they stick to frosting.

Enjoy!

This holiday is for honoring and enjoying the sweet flavor of cookies and sharing them with friends and family. This holiday can bring new fond memories of days to come. Go out and buy a new cookie cutter and enjoy using it by baking cookies for your family. Let today be the day you learn to bake new cookies and learn to decorate them in a new way. Let today be the day you sit down with a glass of cold milk or hot coffee, a plate of fresh made cookies, and have no guilt eating them all.
