Cookie Palm Trees

Summer is right around the corner and the cookies I am sharing with you today are perfect for all of those end of school/luau/beach/pool parties that everyone is sure to be having soon!
The beauty of these cookies is that you only need two ingredients. Pirouette cookies and green fruit slices...plus a few tooth picks to hold them together.
Using a very sharp knife, cut each fruit slice into three pieces as shown below.
Arrange three slices in a palm tree pattern making sure to overlap the top edge of each fruit slice. Push a toothpick into the fruit slices and be careful that you catch all three of the pieces with the toothpick.
Place the palm leaves {with toothpick attached} on top of the pirouette cookie and push the toothpick into the the fudgy inside of the cookie.
I added these Cookie Palm Trees to a Jello Island for Grant's Luau Party at school, but these Cookie Palm Trees would be really adorable on top of a cake or even cupcakes too!
I'm still trying to think of a way to display these without sticking them in another snack {because they are just that cute on their own}, so if anyone has suggestions I would love to hear them:)

    Those are adorable!! You could fill a jar with brown sugar and stick them in that. That's the only thing I can think of.

    you could cover styrofoam with crepe paper and stick them in...or stick them in the syrofoam and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over to cover the styrofoam. super cute

    I'm more of the mind to just eat the stuff, but if somebody created it I'd eat it that way, too. Very creative...

    I stopped by from 3SKB. Just FYI. LOL.
