Celebrate National Burger Day with Burger Cookies

 

Rejoice today's the day to enjoy your favorite burger in honor of National Burger Day. 

Consider adding a creative twist to the meal with Burger Cookies. 

Cook's Notes:

These burger cookies need to be a side at your next BBQ meal. They are a sweet treat after a satisfying grilled meal. Totally kid-friendly. And easy from start to finish with only 15 minutes to put them together. It's good to look ahead for your planning though to make sure you have a box of Nilla Wafers, canned frosting and Keebler Grasshopper Mint Fudge Cookies on hand. The Nilla Wafers are perfect for the bun and the Fudge Cookies have a rippled edge like a hamburger.
Side Note: I've had this recipe so long that I wouldn't even know who to credit but I do know the recipe is from the 80s. A favorite of my children.

Ingredients:

• 1 package Keebler Grasshopper Mint Cookies
• 1 box Nilla Wafers
• 1 can Vanilla Frosting
• Sesame seeds
• Food coloring -red and yellow
• 1 egg white

Directions:

• You will need two bowls, 2 spoons, 2 knives, and a large sheet of wax paper.
• In each bowl place about 1/3-1/2 of the frosting into it. Color each frosting mixture with yellow for mustard and red for ketchup. I did find I needed a lot of red to achieve the ketchup color. Do one burger cookie at a time.
  
• Frost generously with yellow on one flat side of the nilla wafer. With frosting side up place a fudge cookie on top. Then frost another flat side of the nilla wafer with red frosting. Place all three cookies together and lightly squeeze to have frosting ooze on the side and to look like a hamburger with condiments on.
• Hand whip egg white until frothy. Lightly brush the top of the cookie and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
