Ingredients

Cookies

1 1/3 cup flour

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter softened

1 cup of sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1 cup butter softened

4 cups of powdered sugar

pinch salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons milk more or less as needed to make spreadable

36 Oreo Mini cookies divided

36 brown M&M'S

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a shiny aluminum baking sheet for best results.

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine sugar and butter, and beat with paddle attachment until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla extract and almond extract, and continue beating until combined. Add flour mixture and stir just until combined. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed.

Using a medium sized cookie scoop, scoop and roll dough gently into balls. Place on baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes. The edges should still be light and not golden brown.

Let cool completely and frost. Reserve some frosting to help M&M'S adhere to top of Oreo Mini cookies. To prepare frosting, using the paddle attachment, beat butter, powdered sugar, and pinch of salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. With mixer still running, add in vanilla extract and milk one tablespoon at a time until frosting is a soft spreadable consistency.

INGREDIENTS

50 flexible straws

7 oz. package strawberry Jell-O mix
