Cute Pilgrim Hat Cookies

I made these for my grandkids this year. We are going to use them to decorate our place settings at the Thanksgiving table as well. Very fast and easy to do.

Here's a treat that looks old-fashioned but is made with two favorite modern-day sweets: marshmallows and chocolate.

Ingredients

• 24 chocolate-striped shortbread cookies
• 12-ounce package of chocolate chips

• 24 marshmallows
• tube of yellow decorators' frosting

Instructions

1. Set the chocolate-striped cookies stripes down on a wax-paper-covered tray, spacing them well apart.

2. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler.

3. One at a time, stick a wooden toothpick into a marshmallow, dip the marshmallow into the melted chocolate, and promptly center it atop a cookie.

4. Using a second toothpick to lightly hold down the marshmallow, carefully pull out the first toothpick.

5. Chill the hats until the chocolate sets, then pipe a yellow decorators' frosting buckle on the front of each hat.
