How to Make Witch Hat Cookies (Step by Step):

To make things easier for you, I created a simple photo guide below. For all measurements and a more detailed guide, check out the recipe card at the bottom of this page.

Prepare the icing

Step 1 – Divide the of decorator icing equally into 3 small bowls.

Step 2 – Add about ½ teaspoon food coloring to each bowl of icing: one bowl of orange, one bowl of lime green, and one bowl of purple. Stir the icing in each bowl until the color is evenly distributed and smooth. Transfer colored icing to piping bags – one bag for each color.

Step 6 – Immediately add sprinkles on top before the frosting sets. Repeat the last two steps with the remaining cookies.

Essential Tips:

Don’t skip these tips – read them before baking to avoid any potential mistakes.

• Use orange and black icing for a more traditional witch hat color scheme.
• Fold the opening of your piping bag over a tall glass to make it easier to add the icing.
• Before transferring the icing, crimp the piping bag with a chip clip just above the piping tip. This will prevent the icing from coming out of the tip before you’re ready to start.
• A silicone mat helps to keep the cookies from sliding around
• Use gel food coloring for more vibrant and even colors.
• If you don’t have piping bags, you can use a Ziploc bags with a small hole cut in the corner. (see how I did for these Monster treats)
• Let the cookies set before serving to ensure the icing has hardened.
