Instructions:

For The Chocolate Chip Cookies:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F.

• In the mixing bowl attached to your Kitchenin KM50 Stand Mixer, combine the softened unsalted butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy. Add the egg and beat well.

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips.

• Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely before moving on.

For The Buttercream Frosting:

• In a separate mixing bowl, combine the butter, shortening, and vanilla extract using your Kitchenin KM50 Stand Mixer. Mix until smooth.

• Gradually add the confectioners sugar and hot water. Continue mixing until the frosting is light and fluffy.

• Add 4-6 drops of red food coloring to achieve the desired vampire red color.

Assembling The Vampire Teeth Cookie Sandwiches:

• Once your chocolate chip cookies and red buttercream frosting are ready, it's time to assemble your vampire teeth cookie sandwiches.

• Take one cookie and pipe a generous amount of red buttercream on the flat side using a piping bag.

• On the flat side of another cookie, place mini marshmallows along the curved edge, creating the vampire's teeth. Gently press the marshmallows into the frosting to secure them.

• Carefully sandwich the marshmallow-adorned cookie with the frosted one, pressing them together to form the vampire's mouth.

• For the finishing touch, insert two slivered almonds into the frosting at the front of the cookie, leaving a small gap between them to create the fearsome fangs. Repeat these steps for all your vampire cookie sandwiches.

• Enjoy these spooky yet sweet treats, perfect for Halloween or anytime you crave a delightful fright! Enjoy~
