Ingredients
24 Round Sugar Cookies (store-bought or your favorite recipe)
1 cup Rainbow Nonpareils Sprinkles
1 disposable pastry bag
24 Gum drops (assorted colors)
1/2 cup Vanilla Buttercream Icing
Instructions
1. Fill a disposable pastry bag with the buttercream icing. Snip a small bit off the tip of the bag.
2. Carefully draw a thin circle of icing around the outer edge of each round sugar cookie.
3. Place a small dot of icing in the exact center of the cookie.
4. Turn the cookie upside down and gently press the edges into a bowl or plate filled with rainbow nonpareils. Shake off any excess.
5. Turn the cookie right side up. Apply a tiny dot of icing to the bottom of one gumdrop candy.
6. Press the gumdrop firmly onto the center icing dot of the cookie to create the top of the sombrero.
Notes
If your buttercream is too runny, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar to stiffen it up.
Use a shallow bowl for the sprinkles to make dipping easier.
For a chocolate version, use chocolate sandwich cookies or chocolate wafers.
