We had to bring a snack to the Halloween Party that we attended and I was so excited to make Scribbit’s witch hats to bring with us. What an easy and fun idea…this SHOULD have been.
I didn’t realize it, but after visiting three grocery stores, I was unable to find the chocolate cookies that I needed to complete the project.
I had to get a little more creative than usual so I used Christina’s Chocolate Crinkles recipe and patted the cookies into a very flat shape. To insure that they stayed flat, I patted them when I removed them from the oven.
The shapes were still not even so I used my great-grandma’s biscuit cutter (a favorite piece in my kitchen) to cut out perfect circles.
I found Hershey Kisses filled with caramel and used these to rest on top. A frosting bow did complete the look.
The kitchen was short of a disaster and this turned into a little more work than I had intended to put into the snack.
I must say that the results were great and I was proud of how they turned out. The cookies probably tasted better than the store-bought version and who couldn’t appreciate how festive they looked?
Thanks to Michelle for the great treat idea!! I just thought I would share my substitute in case you have as much trouble as me finding these cookies!
Wow–great job! Those are too cute! I love that you cut the round cookies into PERFECT rounds with the biscuit cutter

So cute! I couldn’t find the round cookies either. They aren’t typically in the cookie section–try the ice cream topping section. The manager of my Publix said they are usually there.

So cute! Try the ice cream topping section for the chocolate cookies.

Oh no! So sorry to destroy your kitchen! If other people have trouble finding these, try ginger snaps, chocolate Nilla wafers, or look in the fancy gourmet cracker/cookie section of the store. You know where they’d keep the things like ladysfingers and biscotti?
But they turned out cute and I bet they tasted great.
