Description

Ingredients
Base
- Chocolate chip cookies (recipe linked separately)
Decorations
- Red frosting, enough to spread on cookies
- Mini marshmallows, for the teeth
- Almond slivers, for the vampire fangs
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookies: Bake the chocolate chip cookies according to the linked recipe on a baking sheet. Allow them to cool completely before assembling.
- Cut the Cookies: Once cooled, cut each cookie in half horizontally to create a top and bottom half for the dentures.
- Apply Frosting: Spread a thin layer of red frosting on the flat side of both cookie halves to mimic gums and help the pieces stick together.
- Add the Teeth: Arrange mini marshmallows along the front edge of the bottom cookie half to represent teeth.
- Assemble the Dentures: Gently place the top cookie half over the marshmallows, pressing lightly to secure the sandwich.
- Insert Fangs: Carefully insert almond slivers between some of the marshmallows to create the iconic vampire fang effect.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the spooky texture contrast and sweet flavors. Perfect for Halloween parties or themed treats.
Notes
- You can prepare the chocolate chip cookies a day in advance to save time.
- Use red food coloring in the frosting for a more vibrant “gum” color.
- For a variation, replace mini marshmallows with white candy-coated chocolates.
- Handle the almond slivers carefully to place the fangs precisely.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, but marshmallows may soften over time.
