This is so cute! We're going to cookout on Friday and it'd be perfect to bring along.

Any ideas on alternatives for the coconut? I'm sitting here thinking but I'm just not very creative. Please post if anyone has ideas!
Janis says:

Did you get this from the Joanne Fluke books? She had this in one of her murder mystery books (that includes recipes!). They look adorable.

I remember my mom made these when we were little. I don't know where she got them from! I'm glad you like them! :)

A dab of water & a few sesame seeds on top finishes off the burgers perfectly!
Deb@CookingOnTheFrontBurner says:

Hey there! Just wanted to let you know we featured you in our Favorite Find Fridays post over at Whimsically Homemade. We used one of your pictures. If that's a problem let us know and we'll remove it immediately. Thanks for your great inspiration!

For lettuce and the other condiments I use airheads candy and cut or use a cookie cutter to get my tomato, lettuce, onion and cheese. I made a hamburger cake for the Wendy's restaurant founders dayand that's what I came up with and everyone loved it!! Hope that helps Rapunzel. And. To Six Sisters, awesome job on these cookie burgers they are so cute.
Pam says:

We've been making these since our teenagers were little with a few differences. My kids don't like coconut. We made them to look like cheeseburgers. A little Karo Syrup on top with sesame seeds, orange frosting for the cheese, Keebler grasshopper cookie and then green icing for the lettuce. Always a big hit!
Scott McLean says:

I like seeing those cookies.
Connie Holmes says:

I put the hamburger cookies in cupcake papers and add shoestring potato chips on the side. It makes it look like a hamburger and fries basket.
Cyd says:

What a cute idea!!
Sabrina B says:

these look so wonderful and creative, love the detail for all of these ingredients!
Squirrelly says:

Love the idea! Should it be 60 wafers since need two per 'burger?' Or is it expected that you will eat half the thin mints by the time you're done making them? :-)
Momma Cyd says:

It's 30 wafers since the batch makes 15 hamburger cookies. But we are totally with you on eating the thin mints while making the cookies! You would fit in with us just fine!
