These adorable mummy cookies are fun to make, delicious to eat, and the perfect addition to your Halloween festivities. Simple, festive, and guaranteed to delight kids and adults alike!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white candy melts
  • Mini chocolate chips or edible pearls for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels sticky, add more flour (1 tablespoon at a time).
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or small glass to cut out cookies.
  7. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Melt the white candy melts according to package instructions and let cool slightly.
  9. Transfer the melted candy into a piping bag or Ziploc bag with a small hole cut in the corner. Pipe zigzag lines across the cookies to create mummy bandages.
  10. Place mini chocolate chips or edible pearls onto the cookies for eyes while the candy melt is still wet.
  11. Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature until the candy melt hardens. Store in an airtight container or enjoy immediately.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough to help it hold its shape during baking.’, ‘Roll out the dough evenly for consistent baking.’, ‘Use good-quality candy melts for smooth piping; thin with vegetable oil if needed.’, ‘Let kids get creative with their mummy designs for added fun.’]
