Frosted Surprise Cookies

A mix of my love for cooking and my dry sense of humor is how these first got started.  I did them for a superbowl party several years ago, and the semi-sadistic fun of waiting for someone to bite into a cookie you know isn't good has had me interested in prank food since.  On the outside they look like a regular, oh so good sugar cookie.  On the inside they have a spicy kick sure to surprise the eater.

I think the real key to these is not to prank the whole batch.  One or two, sprinkled throughout, gives the desired effect with an added bonus: Since people will have had a few regular cookies, they won't expect the next one to be bad.  It puts their guard down, as it were.  However, if you plan on partaking of the good cookies, be sure to remember which ones are pranked, and save yourself from a major backfire.

These are super easy to make.  Though if you bring them to a party, be aware suspicion will be tagged onto your food for a while afterwards.

And these are by no way only April Fools Day treats... or maybe only someone with my dry sense of humor thinks so?  It's up to you to decide.

Step 1 Supplies

What You'll Need:

*Sugar Cookies, or any other frostable cookie.  Soft ones are better because they are easier to cut into
*Frosting - Any type will do
*Some not so yummy cookie fillers - I used a mix of pepper, chili powder, and salt.  But anything will work
