Marshmallow pilgrim hat cookies
These marshmallow pilgrim hats are fun no-bake Thanksgiving treats made with cookies, marshmallows, chocolate, and frosting. Kids love helping decorate these edible hats for holiday parties, classroom celebrations, and Thanksgiving dessert trays.

Ingredients

  • Chocolate-striped shortbread cookies
  • 1 package chocolate chips
  • Marshmallows
  • Yellow decorating frosting

Directions

Place the chocolate-striped cookies stripe-side down on a tray or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave using short intervals, stirring frequently until smooth.

Insert a toothpick into a marshmallow and dip the marshmallow into the melted chocolate until coated.

Quickly place the marshmallow in the center of a cookie to form the pilgrim hat shape.

Use a second toothpick if needed to help steady the marshmallow while the chocolate begins to set.

Refrigerate the hats until the chocolate hardens completely.

Use yellow decorating frosting to pipe a buckle shape onto the front of each hat before serving.
Yield: Depends on number of cookies used.

Kid Cooking Tip

Kids can dip the marshmallows, place them onto the cookies, and decorate the hats with frosting buckles.

Variation Ideas

Try white chocolate, peanut butter chips, colored frosting, candy sprinkles, or mini candies for decoration.

Serving Ideas

Serve for Thanksgiving dessert trays, classroom parties, fall festivals, or holiday snack tables.
Holiday Treat Idea: These no-bake treats are simple enough for younger kids and make adorable edible Thanksgiving decorations.
