Description
Turn your plain cookies into spooky mummy cookies with just a few simple steps. Start with your favorite cut-out sugar cookie recipe, whip up some buttercream, and follow along to make a fun, festive treat that’s perfect for Halloween season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12-18 prepared gingerbread man shaped cutout cookies - this is my go-to cut out cookie recipe
- 3/4 pound prepared buttercream, medium consistency - (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 tube black decorator icing
- 24 - 36 mini candy eyeballs
- 1 gingerbread man cookie cutter, medium size (3"-4")
- 1 decorator tip -Wilton #104 or Ateco #45
- (1) 18" pastry bag
Instructions
- Fit your piping bag with your decorator tip and fill it with white buttercream icing.
- Use the black decorator icing to draw a football shape in the center of each cookie.
- Place 2 mini candy eyeballs onto the black icing to create the mummies eyes.
- Using the prepared piping bag, pipe white buttercream bandages around the black icing. Then, create strips in different directions until the cookie is covered.
- Use a clean finger to smooth out any uneven edges of the bandages.
Notes
Storage: Store your decorated cookies in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid freezing, as the eyeballs can get damaged. The cookies will stay fresh for 3-5 days.
