# Ingredients:
→ Cookies
01 -
1 tube chocolate chip cookie dough (approximately 16 oz)
→ Frosting
02 -
1 can vanilla frosting (approximately 15 oz)
03 -
red food coloring, a few drops
→ Decorations
04 -
mini marshmallows, quantity as needed for edging
05 -
slivered almonds, quantity as needed for fangs
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll cookie dough into 1.5-inch diameter balls and evenly space them on the sheets. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely, then slice each cookie in half horizontally.
02 -
Add a few drops of red food coloring into the vanilla frosting and stir well until uniformly tinted. Spread a thin, even layer of the red frosting onto one side of each cookie half.
03 -
Arrange mini marshmallows along the rounded edges of half the cookie halves. Place the remaining frosted cookie halves on top to sandwich. Press a slivered almond on each side of the cookie sandwich to mimic vampire fangs.

For a nut-free alternative, substitute slivered almonds with pretzel pieces or frosted corn flakes to create the vampire fang effect.
