Mummy Cookies
If you're looking for an easy, adorable Halloween treat, Mummy Cookies are the perfect choice. These cookies are simple to decorate, making them a great project to do with kids or for adding a fun, spooky touch to your Halloween dessert spread.
Below is a step-by-step guide on how to prep and decorate your mummy cookies, creating a festive look without any complicated techniques.
For an even easier method, take a look down below for a helpful shortcut using classic Milano cookies that will make the process a lot quicker.
What You'll Need
To make these you only need a few ingredients to put the dessert together.
Tools needed:
- Sugar Cookies
- Fondant Strips and/or White Icing
- Eyeball Sprinkles or Black Bead Sprinkles
- Optional: Edible Glitter
Prep the Cookies
Before you begin decorating, make sure your cookies are ready. Sugar cookies work great for this project since they have a smooth surface and sturdy structure. For the mummy look, round or rectangular cookies work best, but you can use any shape you like.Cooling the Cookies
Allow your cookies to cool completely after baking. Decorating warm cookies can cause the icing to melt and become messy, so it’s best to start with cookies that are fully cooled.
Apply a Base Layer
If you want a more polished look, you can apply a thin base layer of white icing across the entire cookie. This will give a clean background and make the "bandages" of the mummy stand out more clearly. Allow this base layer to dry completely before adding the mummy decorations.
Make the Decorations
Now for the fun part—bringing your mummies to life! You’ll be adding the classic “bandages” look with white royal icing or fondant strips and using candy eyes to give your mummies some personality.
Create the Mummy Bandages
Using a piping bag fitted with a flat or small round tip, pipe strips of white royal icing across the cookie in random directions. These lines should criss-cross over each other to mimic the look of mummy bandages. For a more realistic effect, vary the length and thickness of the strips as you go.
Add the Eyes
Place two candy eyes onto each cookie while the icing is still slightly wet so they’ll stick in place. Position the eyes close together or wide apart, depending on the expression you want your mummies to have. If you don’t have candy eyes, you can use small dots of black and white icing to create eyes as well.
Detail the Bandages
If you want to go a step further, use a fine-tipped piping bag to add smaller lines or “tears” along the bandages. This extra detailing will make the cookies look even more authentic and fun.
Add Edible Glitter
For a festive twist, you can lightly dust edible glitter over the bandages once the icing is set. This will give your mummies a sparkly, Halloween-inspired shimmer.
Mummy Milano Cookies
