Pinata Cookies

These pinata cookies are a fun dessert for a fiesta theme party. Two cookie cups are sealed together with frosting and filled with small candies—just like a pinata.

You Will Need

• Muffin tins
• Sugar cookie dough recipe
• Small candy for filling
• White or colored frosting
• Piping bag or zip-top bag

Directions

1. Prepare your sugar cookie dough and roll it out with a rolling pin.
2. Use a large circle cutter or the bottom of a glass to cut circles slightly larger than the bottom of your muffin tin.
3. Turn the muffin tin over and place the dough circles around the bottom of each muffin cup.
4. Bake until golden brown.
5. Allow cookies to cool, then gently remove them from the tin.
6. Fill one cookie with small candy.
7. Pipe frosting around the top edge of the cookie.
8. Place a second cookie on top and gently seal together.

Kid-Friendly Tip: Kids can cut cookie circles, add candy, and help decorate. Adults should handle the oven and hot muffin tin.
