Sombero Cookies - The Perfect Dessert for a Family Cinco de Mayo Party

I can't take credit for inventing this easy and fun dessert.  I first saw the idea on the Family Fun website and must give them credit for the idea.

We made these cookies for a Cinco de Mayo family theme dinner.  The kids thought they were so cool to make and eat.

Making these cookies is half the fun so make sure you let the kids in on the work.

Sombero Cookies

Ingredients:

• 
  
  Sugar Cookies
• 
  
  Gum Drops
• 
  
  White Icing
• 
  
  Decorating Sprinkles

This Cinco de Mayo Mexican themed dessert is super easy to make and kids will have a great time helping.

Place the icing in a microwave safe bowl and warm in the microwave until runny (usually about 15 - 20 seconds).  Stir.

Dip the edges of each cooking into the icing and then roll in the sprinkles and place on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet.  If you prefer you can place each cookie on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet and sprinkle the decorations on.  You have now created the base of your Sombero cookie.

Take a gum drop and dip the bottom into the icing and place it in the center of the cookie.

Allow the icing on your Sombero cookies to dry for at least half an hour before serving.

Congratulations!  You have created a fun dessert everyone will love for your Cinco de Mayo party.
