Under the Sea Clamshell Cookies
Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 box of shortbread cookies. We used Voortman’s Shortbread Sugar Free Cookies because we loved the swirl pattern.
- Purple, pink, or turquoise pre-made frosting. The vibrancy of Pillsbury’s Funfetti Bold Purple Vanilla frosting is our favorite!
- White pearl chocolate balls (such as Sixlets’ Shimmer White, regularly found at party stores or online)
Instructions:
- Remove purple frosting from container and place in piping bag fitted with an “open star” style tip.
- Place small portion of frosting on one side of shortbread cookie.
- Place the second cookie on top of the frosted cookie at a slight angle.
- Complete the cookie with a “pearl” chocolate candy in the middle.
