Vampire Teeth Cookies

Every Halloween, I like to make up a few new recipes to go with the spooky theme of the holiday. And this year, I’m going totally over the top with it. We didn’t get to have any Halloween parties or do real trick-or-treating last year, so I’m making up for lost time now.Vampire Teeth Cookies stacked up

So, even though I’ve already created several Halloween-themed goodies this year, I just couldn’t resist one more. And here it is: Vampire Teeth Cookies.

These vampire teeth cookies may look fancy, but they’re actually super simple to make. First, bake up a batch of regular cookies. I just used slice-and-bake chocolate chip cookies for these, but you could do another kind if you want.

Then, cut each cookie in half, and fill in the middle with a layer of marshmallow “teeth,” glued in place with red icing. And for the finishing touch, add the fangs – slivered almonds – on one outside edge, two marshmallows apart.Vampire Teeth Cookies laid out

These Vampire Teeth Cookies are a spooky treat you can really (ahem) sink your teeth into. With buttery, chocolatey cookie on the outside, a layer of sweet icing under that, and the fluffy marshmallow layer in the middle, they’re quite a mouthful.

Recipe Tips:

    • You can use your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough recipe (or any kind of cookie!) instead of the packaged cookie dough.
    • Make the cookies fairly large (3 inches in diameter) for best results. You need enough space to get a full mouth of teeth in there!
    • Work on assembling just one vampire teeth cookie at a time because the frosting dries to the touch quickly and will make it difficult to “glue” the marshmallows and slivered almonds in!
    • If the cookies seem a bit soft, you can place them in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up to make it easier to assemble.
    • You can really use any kind of frosting to assemble these cookies. The Wilton brand that comes in the tube is really easy to use because you can screw a decorating tip directly onto the tube for more control when icing the cookies.
