My husband loves peppermint patties, and our son is crazy for vanilla wafers. So I put the two together to make a cool cookie that looks just like a burger. Kids of all ages get a kick out of them.

You can also tint coconut green and place between the layers to look like lettuce. I did this when my now 25 year old was in pre-school. I use chocolate mint cookies and placed them in a hot oven far a few seconds to melt the chocolate, then placed the coconut and a vanilla wafer on top. The heated chocolate holds them all together. A slightly wet finger brushed across the top of the cookie will also hold the sesame in place. I put these in small bags with wax bottles of juice (the old dime store type) and canned, fried potato strings. Looks like a full meal!

You can use the egg white if you don't mind raw egg.

I would think the corn syrup is only for the seeds sticking, but I would think the eggwhite would be just as good, without adding anymore sweetness. Not that a tsp. of syrup is that much, but still an added sweetness just the same.

I have made these many times and like others did the coconut. I have used egg white vs. corn syrup on the top for the seeds. Does the corn system give a different flavor?

scrapah1, that is great idea! Those would make the perfect Krabby Patty dessert for a kids party. Well done!

I made these yesterday with one addition: lettuce. I used shredded coconut that I tinted with green food coloring. Here's how I made them: I placed half the wafers upside down and piped Wilton's yellow paste in a circle near the edge of the cookie so that when the patty is pressed onto it the paste squeezes out slightly so it is visible. I then placed a patty on each. Then I placed the rest of the wafers upside down and piped Wilton's red paste on them the same way. I preheated the oven to 350 degrees and place the cookies with the patties into the oven for 30 seconds to soften them up. Then I took them out and sprinkled the green tinted coconut on them, making sure it hangs off the side a little bit. I pressed the coconut down into the slightly melted chocolate and put the top of the hamburger on each. Then I brushed corn syrup on them and sprinkled the sesame seeds.

I have a friend who made these; she also tinted coconut green and spinkled on top of the pepperment patty - looks like lettuce. Love this idea!
