Hamburger Cookie Ingredients

Nilla Wafers: You will need 40 Nilla Wafer cookies to create these festive treats, this will create [20] assembled hamburgers.

York Peppermint Patty: For the meat of this cookie, use 20 mini York Peppermint Patty candies.

Coconut: To mimic the lettuce on the burger, use ¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut.

Green food coloring: Use a few drops of green food coloring to dye the coconut green to look like lettuce.

Yellow Chocolate: To create the “mustard” on the hamburger, use ⅓ cup of yellow candy melts.

Red Chocolate: Using ⅓ cup of red candy melts will be used for the “ketchup” part of the burger.

White Chocolate: A burger is not complete without the mayonnaise, use ⅓ cup of white candy melts to create this condiment on the cookie.

Candy Melts come in a variety of colors and can be found at craft stores, as well as large grocery stores. Small grocery stores have a few colors, but you’ll probably want to shop at a craft store so that they have the colors you need. If you can’t find yellow and red, you’re welcome to dye white chocolate using food coloring.

Butter: Use 1 tablespoon of butter, melted, to lightly brush the top “bun” (cookie) before sprinkling with the sesame seeds.

Sesame Seeds: You will need 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds for the final topping to these hamburger theme cookies.

How to make No-bake Hamburger Cookies

Melt the Mustard and Mayo Chocolate

Start by placing the required amount of candy melts in a small zip locked bag or a piping bag (secured closed) and lay flat in the microwave. Heat each bag separately for 1 minute 30 seconds, then remove the bag and let sit on the counter, under a towel. The idea is to keep the candy warm so that it finishes melting.

After 2 minutes, massage each bag. Return to the microwave for 15 second increments if needed to melt completely. When they are warm and smooth, snip a small corner of each bag and get started with the assembly.

Assemble the Mini Burger Cookies

Next, measure out the shredded coconut and in the measuring cup add a couple drops of the green food coloring. Start with 2 drops, stir and determine if that is the desired shade of green to resemble lettuce. You want a light green, starting with 2 drops should accomplish this.

After that, lay out a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Then lay out [20] of the Nilla Wafer cookies, flat side up (this is the bottom bun).

Swirl of the white melted chocolate to each cookie, then press a peppermint patty on top so some of the white chocolate peeks through the edge.

Next, add a swirl of yellow chocolate to the top of the peppermint patty. Then add a pinch of green coconut to the top of that.

Now, grab the other [20] wafer cookies and lay those out flat side up and add a swirl of red chocolate to those cookies. Place these cookies (ketchup side down) on top of the lettuce and gently squeeze the cookie hamburger so the cookie stays together.

In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then brush a small amount on top of each hamburger and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

That’s it! Repeat the process with the remaining cookie burgers and enjoy!

I think the sesame seeds on top really add a special something, so don’t leave those off.

The hamburger cookies need to be kept in an airtight container so they don’t go stale. They’ll stay fresh for about 5 days if enclosed appropriately.
