Catch of the Day Cookies
The best catch of summer won’t come from the lake—it’ll come from the kitchen!
Prep time: 20 min.
Baking time: 15 min.
Decoration time: 30 min.
Difficulty: Moderate
What you'll need:
- 1 medium bag M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 18-oz roll refrigerated cookie dough
- 1 box confectioner sugar
- 2 tablespoons egg white powder
- 6 1/2 tablespoons water
- Green food coloring
- Plastic drinking straw
- 2 cookie sheet pans
- 2 resealable plastic bags
- String or yarn
- Printable template
What to do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Knead the flour into the dough, and roll it out to 1/4-inch thickness. Using the printable template cut out 18 fish shaped cookies, re-rolling the scraps. Using a straw, press out a hole around the mouth of each fish cookie. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven, transfer to wire rack and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, beat the confectioner’s sugar, egg white powder and water until it is the consistency of slightly whipped cream. Tint the frosting green.
- Work on two cookies at a time, spread them with frosting and then decorate with M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies using the photograph as guide. Continue until all the cookies are decorated.
Tip: If the circumference of the straw seems small, make two holes and connect them to make a larger hole, so it won’t close during baking.
Makes 18 cookies.
