Looking for a great April Fools' Day treat to share with family and friends? Look no further. We make these little hamburger cookies every year for the kids to share in their school classes and although you'd think that the same trick would get old year after year, they never fail to be a hit for everyone! The best part about this April Fools' day fake-out, is that they're also super easy to make! How easy? Watch this....
Looks like a nice plate of delicious grilled sliders, doesn't it?
In reality it is:
Vanilla wafers
Keebler Grasshopper cookies
Red icing ( I recommend buying pre-made red icing, since red is hard to make with food coloring)
Yellow icing (I couldn't find any yellow icing this year, so we made ours with white icing and yellow food coloring)
Sesame seeds
Orange juice concentrate or corn syrup (we used corn syrup)
Put a good sized gob of frosting on each vanilla wafer (one for the "ketchup", one for the "mustard")
Sandwich together like this.
Using a pastry brush, brush over the top a small amount of orange juice concentrate or corn syrup (heated in the microwave for 10 seconds). Sprinkle on the sesame seeds.
Voila! A very realistic miniature hamburger.
Have fun tricking your family and friends.
Enjoy!
