Comment préparer Hamburger Cookies
- **Make the Frosting:** In an electric mixer, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup half-and-half.
- Gradually add milk (about 2-4 tablespoons) until you reach a thin, spreadable frosting consistency.
- Divide the frosting into three separate bowls (approximately 1/3, 1/4, and 1/4).
- **Color the Frosting:** Tint one bowl orange (using red and yellow food coloring) for cheese, one bright yellow for mustard, and the last bowl red for ketchup. (Note: achieving a vibrant red may require a significant amount of red food coloring; consider using gel food coloring for a more intense hue.)
- Transfer each colored frosting to a separate small plastic bag. Seal, snip a tiny corner, and set aside.
- **Prepare the Cookies:** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Lightly toast 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
- Brush the tops of Nilla Wafers (enough for the number of hamburgers you are making) with egg wash (1 egg lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon of water).
- Place the egg-washed wafers on a baking sheet, sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds, and bake for 5 minutes. This gently cooks the egg white, eliminating the need for refrigeration.
- While the wafers bake, use a rasp or grater to lightly shave the curved tops of the remaining Nilla Wafers to create flat surfaces. This will form the bottom bun of your hamburger.
- **Make the 'Lettuce':** Place 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut in a zip-top bag. Add several drops of green food coloring and gently mix until the coconut is evenly colored.
- **Assemble the Hamburgers:** Place a shaved Nilla wafer (flat side up) on a plate. Pipe small dots of ketchup and mustard frosting around the edges.
- Sprinkle with the green coconut “lettuce”.
- Top with a mint cookie (or similar round cookie as the patty), and gently press down.
- Pipe a dollop of orange cheese frosting on top of the cookie.
- Sprinkle with additional white coconut (optional) to simulate onions.
- Top with a sesame-seeded Nilla wafer bun.
- Gently press down to secure.
- **Serve:** Garnish with toasted slivered almonds (to resemble french fries).
