Christmas Santa Hat Brownies

Recipe by Rebekah Winscott

These Christmas Santa hat brownies are the easiest festive dessert you’ll make this holiday! Start with a pan of brownies, then add red and white frosting for the cutest edible Santa hats. Perfect for parties, cookie swaps, or family baking fun.

  • Total Time15 minutes
  • Yield14 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (9x13-inch) pan of prepared and cooled brownies (use a mix or your favorite recipe)
  • 1/2-2/3 cup red cupcake icing or frosting (we used the tube of icing since red frosting wasn’t available)
  • 1/3 cup vanilla frosting

Equipment:

  • Piping bag
  • Wilton #22 tip
  • Sharp knife

Instructions

  1. Cut the pan of brownies in half lengthwise, then cut each small row into 7 triangles. The ends will not be used.
  2. Arrange the triangle brownies on a baking sheet or tray.
  3. Pipe the red frosting onto each brownie, starting from ½ inch under the tip of the triangle until ½ inch before the bottom, moving in a back-and-forth motion. Use the star tip that came with the icing (or the same Wilton #22 tip if using frosting).
  4. Add the vanilla frosting to a piping bag with the Wilton #22 tip and pipe a dot on the tip of the Santa hat, then a line at the bottom.

Notes

  • Make sure the brownies are completely cooled before frosting.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For the best presentation, chill for 15 minutes before serving.
