The holiday baking frenzy began and I'm about a week late with anything Hanukkah...but I did manage to do these adorable candle cookies that I found in Family Fun magazine last month and did it the Mrs. Personality way (i.e., easy & fast). And certainly, these work for Christmas too. My only challenge was in getting them to "stand up" to display all nice on the platter. They kept wanting to topple over even with lots of icing "glue." I'll have to work on this technique. But they were cute and yummy. The toddler loved them.
Ingredients:
- Pirouette cookies
- One bag Wilton candy melts. I used the vanilla with sparkles.
- Can of vanilla frosting (will only use about a 1/4 of it.)
- Mini orange slices cut in half, or just regular orange slices cut small.
- Any flower "ring" type cookie with a hole in it. I found these adorable sprinkled ones in the kosher section of our grocery.
1) Melt the candy melts over a double boiler. Spoon candy melts halfway down cookie. Lay on wax paper on tray and then chill about ten minutes till set. 2) When set, at the top, ad a dollop of icing and affix the orange slice to look like a flame. 3) With more icing, glue base of cookie to flower cookie. Note: You might want to do this part "at" the spot you plan to serve them as keeping them upright was a little challenging and I would think transporting even more so.
Flame? What flame?
Your son's face is classic!!! Did he at least like the cookies when he finally bit in to them?
