Touchdown OREO Cookies

Putting it together

1. 1.

   Spoon 2 Tbsp. frosting into pastry bag fitted with small round writing tip; reserve for later use. 

2. 2.

   Add green food color to remaining frosting in small microwaveable bowl; mix well.  Microwave on HIGH 5 sec. or just until frosting is softened (Do not microwave frosting until melted.) Stir until frosting is of glaze-like consistency. (If necessary, microwave frosting an additional 2 to 3 sec.) 

3. 3.

   Spread green frosting onto tops of 12 cookies; place in single layer on parchment-covered baking sheet.  Refrigerate 10 min. or until frosting is firm.

4. 4.

   Use about half of the reserved white frosting to pipe lines onto tops of green-frosted cookies to resemble lines on a football field.

5. 5.

   Add 1 football-shaped sprinkle and 2 number sprinkles to top of each green-frosted cookie, gently pressing sprinkles into frosting to secure.  Let stand until frosting is firm.

6. 6.

   Melt semi-sweet chocolate as directed on package; spread evenly onto tops of remaining cookies.  Place in single layer on second parchment-covered baking sheet.  Refrigerate 10 min. or until chocolate is firm. 

7. 7.

   Pipe remaining reserved white frosting onto tops of chocolate-covered cookies to resemble footballs as shown in photo. Let stand until frosting is firm.
