Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Piping bag (for frosting)
Ingredients
- 1 package sugar cookie dough
- 1 container white frosting
- gumdrops or Dots candy pieces
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Shape the dough into a small round ball. Place on a baking sheet about 2" apart.
- Follow the directions on the packaging to bake the cookies.
- After the cookies have cooled completely, decorate the cookies. Using a frosting piping bag, place a large dot of frosting in the middle of each cookie. Firmly press a gumdrop in the center. Trace the brim outline with frosting. Top the frosting with sprinkles.
Notes
- Make sure the cookies are completely cooled before decorating them. Otherwise, the cookies will melt the frosting and it will be hard to decorate the sombrero cookies.
- If you don't have a frosting piping bag, empty the frosting into a small plastic food storage bag. Cut off one corner of the bag to create a small hole. Press the frosting through the hole and use it just like you would a frosting piping bag.
