Donald’s Candy Corn Cookies
From the "Disney Files" magazine.
Ingredients:
Large round soft baked sugar cookies (homemade or store bought)
Cookie icing (look for it in the baking aisle of the grocery store)
Red and yellow food coloring
Procedures:
Use a kitchen knife to slice the cookies into triangles (3" tall and about 2 1/4").
Put a quarter of the cookie icing into a small bowl (this will be used for the white tips of the candy corns). Divide the rest of the icing between two other bowls, and use the food coloring to tint one of the bowlfuls orange and the other yellow.
Now it's time to frost the cookies. Start by using the tip of a butter knife to coat the middle section of each triangle with orange icing (keep the white and yellow icings covered with plastic until you're ready to use them.) You don't have to be too fussy. The nice thing about cookie icing is that it seeks its own level, resulting in a smooth surface. Plus it hardens fairly quickly.
When the orange icing has set, frost the bases of the triangles yellow and let the icing set up.
Finally, spread white icing on the tips of the cookies, let it set, and the cookies are ready to serve.
Notes:
2014-10-09: made for Halloween in Wyomissing; ugly, but tasty. The icing didn't harden.
