    Recipe FAQ

    Why are my cookies raw in the middle?

    It's because you didn't let your cookie dough cool before baking it. I know that sounds odd right? If you softened or melted your butter in the microwave before adding it to your batter, you are adding something warm to the batter. You need to let the dough then chill before baking it. If you don't, the dough will spread out too quickly and not bake correctly.

    Why do cookies burn on the edges?

    It's because you put raw cookie dough on a cookie sheet that was still warm and put that into the oven. When you are placing cookies onto a baking sheet that is going into the oven, that sheet has to be cool so everything bakes and warms together. If not, the cookies will burn on the edges because the warm sheet will allow the dough to spread too quickly.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 package store bought Sugar Cookies OR make Sugar cookies from a mix
    • 1 container White Frosting
    • 1 package Gummy Bears
    • 1 package Whoppers Candy or other malted candy.
    • 1 package Tootsie Rolls
    • 1 package Mini Pretzel Sticks
    • Mini Marshmallows
    • Green Food Coloring
    • Lighter optional

    Instructions
     

    • If you are using a sugar cookie mix, follow the directions and bake accordingly.
    • Once the cookies are light golden brown, remove them from the oven and let them cool. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting.
    • In a small bowl, add the frosting and mix in the green food coloring a little at a time. (Remember you can add MORE but you can’t SUBTRACT food coloring). Mix together until you find the right color consistency you are looking for. Then spread the frosting onto the cookies.
    • Using a sharp knife, cut knife marks lengthwise into the tootsie rolls so they resemble logs. Cut the gummy bears into 3 pieces and dice the whoppers into small pieces.
    • Next sprinkle some whopper pieces onto the middle of the cookies. Then take 3 tootsie rolls and lay around the whopper pieces in the shape of a triangle.
    • Place some of the gummy bear pieces inside the triangle of tootsie rolls to resemble fire flames. Poke a pretzel stick into a marshmallow but not through it. It will look like a roasting marshmallow on a stick. Repeat this for as many as you need.
    • Place 3 of the marshmallow sticks on each cookie in a pyramid shape over the campfire, making sure the marshmallows touch at the top.

    Notes

     An optional step: Take a lighter and run it over the marshmallows to give them a roasted look!
