Witch Hat Cookies

So for Halloween this year I decided to bring my co-workers cookies and brownies.  The brownies were going to be cut out into shapes and decorated.  But I discovered when laying out the cookie cutter over the brownies that I would waste a lot and not get many brownies out of the batch so decided against that.  However the cookies are easy and fun to make!  Simply take Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies, flip them to the back side (completely covered in chocolate).  Then buy some orange icing (which I must say was kind of difficult to find).  I settled on Wilsons Cookie Icing.  It says to microwave it, however this makes it like water and for what we're doing that's not good!  So I then put it in the fridge for a while and left it at room temp after that and it made it more manageable.  Also you will need some Hershey's Kisses.  I used the plain milk chocolate, but I'm sure most any kind will work.  So you lay out the cookies upside down.  I found the easiest way, after trying several different ways, is to lay out all the cookies then just drizzle a little icing around the center ring.  Put a kiss on that spot, then drizzle a ring of icing around the kiss.  The end result looks like a hat with an orange band around it.  It's very cute!  And like I said easy to make.  With this icing I suggest using wax paper.  And letting it set over night, or putting it in the fridge if you need to serve soon.  This will allow the icing to harden further.  I've included a couple of pictures to show the process and end result.  My last batch of brownies are in the oven soon to come out, then it's let them cool and deliver!  Hope you all have a great Halloween!  Enjoy!
