Fun Pilgrim Hat Cookies

A "head's up" for a November activity. I found this in my "Taste of Home" magazine and thought it was so cute. We will be making these during the Thanksgiving Season. This is a no cooking required activity which is much needed at times.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup vanilla frosting
  
• 7 drops yellow food coloring
• 32 miniature peanut butter cups
• 1 package (11-1/2 ounces) fudge-striped cookies
• 32 pieces orange mini Chiclets gum

Directions:

In a small shallow bowl, combine frosting and food coloring. Remove paper liners from peanut butter cups.

Holding the bottom of a peanut butter cup, dip top of cup in yellow frosting. Position over center hole of a cookie, forming the hatband and crown. Add a buckle of Chiclets gum. Repeat with remaining cups and cookies. Yield: 32 cookies.

My tip: Remember that if you use store bought frosting, The Semi-Homemade Sandra Lee says to add one teaspoon of vanilla for a more homemade taste.
