Vampire Cookies Ingredients
Chocolate chip cookies. There is nothing that beats a homemade chocolate chip cookie! If you are using store bought cookies, make sure you are using a soft chocolate chip cookie, the hard ones will crumble when you go to break them to make the mouth shape. You can make these Vampire cookies with store bought chocolate chip cookies if you are running short on time, however I personally prefer to use homemade soft chocolate chip cookies. You want to make them so they are a bit bigger then you normally would make them, so that you can break them in half to make the mouth.
Buttercream frosting. You will need a batch of the best buttercream frosting. You could also use Almond Frosting or marshmallow frosting if you wanted to give them a little bit of a different taste.
Red food coloring. I prefer to use gel food coloring when I am coloring frosting.
Mini marshmallows. Mini marshmallows will give these vampire cookies their normal teeth.
Slivered almonds. Almond slivers to give them that creepy vampire look!
How to Make Vampire Cookies
Once cookies are made and cooled and frosting is made cut each cookie in half to make 2 semi- circles.
Lay the cookie halves on a baking sheet.
Using a piping bag, pipe the buttercream on the cookies.
On 1/2 of the cookie place the marshmallows into the front of the semi-circle to create the vampire’s teeth. Place the other half of the cookie onto the top of the marshmallows gently pressing down so the top will stick. Repeat this with all the cookies
Add two slivered almonds to the front of the cookie leaving a small space in between to create the vampire fangs. Repeat this on all the vampire mouths.
