How to Make Detective's Magnifying Glass Cookies - Anders Ruff Custom Designs, LLC

Last week, I shared Jeffrey’s Vintage Detective Party, which was a hit amongst both our fans and the 9 year old party attendees! Overall, the feedback has been fabulous – everyone loves the activity ideas (keep them busy at the party!) as well as the printable detective party graphics, and the desserts… so thank you so much for the positive input!

One super fun part of creating new parties, for me, is coming up with easy and unique ways to transform foods into theme appropriate desserts (that often don’t require baking!). We realize that not everyone bakes (You may remember my zillion attempts to finally “get” how to make macarons) Well, I love to use chocolate covered oreos to create fun desserts (Remember the Caprese Salad treats from Pierson’s Pizzeria Party, or the cute meringue topped Oreo desserts from our Sea Breeze Baby Shower, or the Gold Medal cookies from Grayce’s recent Gymnastics party).

Today, I’m going to show you how to easily make these precious Magnifying Glass Cookies! Just a few simple steps and you are sure to impress those secret agents!

MATERIALS & SUPPLIES NEEDED:
– Black and White Melting Chocolate
– Oreos (We used Golden but you can use any flavor of your liking)
– Oreo Chocolate Mold (Most inexpensive one we found and it works like a charm)
– Icing Piping Containers (Much easier than bags! This is our “go to” FAVORITE set that we use for icing, drizzling chocolate and more!)
– Popsicle Sticks
– Yellow Electrical Tape and Black Electrical Tape

– Optional: White and Black Royal Icing (Make according to your meringue powder recipe) or you can use the black and white melting chocolate (see note below)

STEPS:
1) Melt your black chocolate discs in a ramekin
2) Spoon a dollup of chocolate into the oreo mold cavity
3) Gently press an Oreo into the cavity.4) Add another dollup of chocolate on top of the oreo and smooth out with a spoon. We like to tap the mold onto the table to make the chocolate extra smooth
5) Place popsicle stick on top of the melted black chocolate oreo. Place in freezer for 10 minutes
6) Gently remove the oreos from the molds.
7) Using a piping container with a round tip, pipe white chocolate (or royal icing for a smoother look) around in a circle and fill in the circle. Then add the black ‘c’ shape for dimension.
8) Once dry, add the black and yellow electrical tape accents!
