Ingredients
  

  • 24 chocolate fudge-striped cookies
  • 0.25 cup orange decorating icing
  • 24 milk chocolate candy kisses

Equipment

  • 1 rimmed baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the cookies striped side up on the baking sheet.
  3. Pipe 1/2 teaspoon orange icing in a small ring at the center of each cookie.
  4. Unwrap the candy kisses.
  5. Press one kiss, point up, into each icing ring.
  6. Let the cookies stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, until the icing firms and holds the kisses in place.

Notes

For the neatest hats, pipe a small, even ring of icing at each cookie’s center. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; freezing is not recommended. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free chocolate-striped cookies.
