Ingredient list

6 Tbsp. ready-to-spread white frosting, divided
½ tsp. green gel food color
24 OREO Cookies, divided
12 football-shaped sprinkles (about 1 Tbsp.)
24 number-shaped sprinkles (about 1/4 tsp.)
2 oz. (1/2 of 4-oz. pkg.) semi-sweet baking chocolate

Directions

Spoon 2 Tbsp. frosting into pastry bag fitted with small round writing tip; reserve for later use.

Add green food color to remaining frosting in small microwaveable bowl; mix well. Microwave on HIGH 5 sec. or just until frosting is softened (Do not microwave frosting until melted.) Stir until frosting is of glaze-like consistency. (If necessary, microwave frosting an additional 2 to 3 sec.)

Spread green frosting onto tops of 12 cookies; place in single layer on parchment-covered baking sheet. Refrigerate 10 min. or until frosting is firm.

Use about half of the reserved white frosting to pipe lines onto tops of green-frosted cookies to resemble lines on a football field.

Add 1 football-shaped sprinkle and 2 number sprinkles to top of each green-frosted cookie, gently pressing sprinkles into frosting to secure. Let stand until frosting is firm.

Melt semi-sweet chocolate as directed on package; spread evenly onto tops of remaining cookies. Place in single layer on second parchment-covered baking sheet. Refrigerate 10 min. or until chocolate is firm.

Pipe remaining reserved white frosting onto tops of chocolate-covered cookies to resemble footballs as shown in photo. Let stand until frosting is firm.

Recipe Tips

How to Store
These fun decorated cookies can be stored in tightly covered container in refrigerator up to 3 days before serving.
Variation
Omit frosting and green gel food color. Melt 3 oz. (about 1/2 cup) dark green candy melts as directed on package, then in separate bowl melt 1 oz. (about 3 Tbsp.) white candy melts. Decorate cookies with candy melts as directed, using a toothpick or small clean paint brush to add the white lines to the cookies.
