In the past, my mother-in-law used to send the kids these cute burger bite cookies. Recently, during a conversation with my sister-in-law, it struck me that I should share her method for making them. The recipe is incredibly simple and allows Mom to shine with very little effort. There’s no baking involved; it’s primarily about assembling the ingredients and melting a few items. These easy recipes are perfect for making delicious No Bake Cookies.

Burger Bite No Bake Cookies

Mini burger-shaped no-bake cookies

Ingredients

1 bag peppermint patties
1 box nilla wafers
yellow and red squeezable cookie icing
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 drops green food coloring
sesame seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Lay half of the nilla wafers round side down on a cookie tray.
Top each one with a peppermint patty.
Place the shredded coconut in a ziploc bag with a few drops of the green food coloring and a few drops of water. Shake it up until the coconut reaches a shade of “lettuce” you like. You can add more food coloring if necessary.
Melt the patties for about 90 seconds in the oven just until they are glossy.
Take them immediately out of the oven and top them with your coconut lettuce
Use the yellow and red cookie icing to make swirls on the bottom (not round) side of the other half of the nilla wafers.
Press the iced nilla wafers onto the halves with the peppermint patties basically assembling the burger.
Rub a drop of water on the “top” of the “buns” and sprinkle a few sesame seeds over them to complete the look.

You Should Try No Bake Cookies

As you can see above my mother in law varied how she assembled the burgers with the icing and lettuce to make each one look original. Play around, be original and make it your own-get the kids involved and have fun.
