Hamburger Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

4 drops green food coloring

1/2 teaspoon water

1/4 cup flaked coconut

48 vanilla wafers

24 chocolate covered thin mints

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

In a bowl, combine food coloring with a few drops of water. Add coconut and cover the container, shake until coconut is tinted. Set aside.

Place 1/2 of the vanilla wafers, flat side up, in an ungreased cookie sheet. Top each wafer with a peppermint patty. Place in the oven about 1 minute or just until chocolate begins to soften.

Remove cookies from oven and sprinkle each mint with 1/2 teaspoon coconut (for lettuce). Place another vanilla wafer on top and press gentle. With a clean paint brush, brush the top of each hamburger with just enough water to moisten so that the sesame seeds will stick when sprinkled on top of each cookie. NOTE: You can use canned chocolate frosting in place of peppermint patty, then eliminate the baking.
