Pilgrim Hat Cookies

Here is a fun treat I wanted to try from Taste of Home. I thought I would be so prepared for Thanksgiving with a kid friendly goodie but ended up not using it this year. Hope you enjoy. Easy to make!

Pilgrim Hat Cookies
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 or orange candy (Reese’s, orange part of candy corn, mini M& M’s, etc.)

In a small shallow bowl, combine frosting and food coloring and put in a ziploc bag with one corner cut. Remove paper liners from peanut butter cups. Holding the bottom of a peanut butter cup, squeeze out a quarter size amount of yellow frosting in the center of the cookie to create a hatband and add peanut butter cup to make the crown. Add a buckle of candy. Repeat with remaining cups and cookies. Yield: 32 cookies.
