I found these delectable cookies on my favorite cookie blog, The Girl Who Ate Everything. I thought they would be so fun for the girls to make! Even young kids can assemble them because there is no baking required. It turns out they are not only adorable, but very tasty, too! They are fun for the summertime (maybe July 4th?) since it is grilling season and they look just like little burgers.
Vanilla wafer cookies
Grasshopper fudge cookies
1 cup shredded coconut
Green food coloring
Tube of red Betty Crocker decorator frosting
Tube of yellow Betty Crocker decorator frosting
Place coconut in a Ziploc bag and add 3-5 drops green food coloring. Shake the bag until the coconut is a universal green color.
Lay out as many vanilla wafers as you have grasshopper cookies upside down on a cookie sheet. These are the buns. Place a small dot of frosting on the bun and then place your grasshopper cookie on top of each one to look like a hamburger patty.
Make a circle of red frosting on top of the grasshopper cookie to look like ketchup. Then add the yellow frosting for mustard. You have to use the actual Betty Crocker decorator frosting rather than dying your own (unless you have the professional cake decorating die that is very bright) so that you get the true red and yellow colors so it looks like ketchup and mustard. Regular food coloring will make it a light, pastel color. We only used red when we made them since the girls like ketchup better than mustard (and the tubes are kind of pricey).
Top each one with green coconut (lettuce of course)! Finish by placing another vanilla wafer on top for the top burger bun. Cute and delicious!
