SUBSTITUTIONS & VARIATIONS
You can easily customize your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies. For different flavors, try golden Oreos instead of classic chocolate. You could also use peanut butter Hershey’s Kisses for a twist on your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies.
Swap chocolate frosting for orange or purple frosting to make your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies even more colorful. Consider adding edible glitter for extra sparkle on these Halloween Oreo Witch Hat Cookies. Dip your finished Oreo Witch Hat Cookies in melted white chocolate for a different look. Experiment with different candy toppers, too, for unique Oreo Witch Hat Cookies.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Creating your own batch of Oreo Witch Hat Cookies is straightforward.
1. First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes cleanup easy for your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies.
2. Next, open your package of Oreo cookies. You will use one cookie per witch hat.
3. Then, twist open each Oreo cookie. Keep the cream filling on one side.
4. Spread a small amount of chocolate frosting onto the cream-filled half of the Oreo. This acts as “glue” for your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies.
5. Firmly press a Hershey’s Kiss onto the frosting, pointy side up. This forms the “hat” part of your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies.
6. If using sprinkles, carefully apply them around the base of the Hershey’s Kiss. This adds festive flair to your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies.
7. Finally, place your finished Oreo Witch Hat Cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Let them set in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. This helps the frosting firm up on your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies.
PRO TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Achieving perfect Oreo Witch Hat Cookies is simple with a few tricks. Use softened frosting; this makes it much easier to spread. A small offset spatula or a butter knife works well for applying the frosting to your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies.
If your Hershey’s Kisses are sticking, lightly chill them first. This prevents melting during assembly of your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies. Don’t overdo the frosting; a little goes a long way.
For an extra touch, use black gel icing to draw a buckle on each witch hat cookie.
STORAGE & REHEATING TIPS
Store your completed Oreo Witch Hat Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. The frosting will firm up more in the fridge.
These Oreo Witch Hat Cookies do not require reheating. In fact, they taste best at room temperature or slightly chilled.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH THIS RECIPE
These adorable Oreo Witch Hat Cookies are perfect on their own! However, they also pair wonderfully with other Halloween treats. Serve them alongside a spooky punch or hot apple cider.
They are fantastic with other easy Halloween snacks like pretzel mummies or “mummy dogs.” These Oreo Witch Hat Cookies also make an excellent addition to any Halloween party dessert table.
