Easy Mummy Cookies
These soft and buttery brown sugar bars are decorated like cute mummies for a fun Halloween treat.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like a simple cookie bar to get everyone in the spooky spirit. These mummy cookies are a favorite in my house because they are sweet, buttery, and look adorable on a dessert platter without requiring hours in the kitchen.
My best tip for these is to let the chocolate set completely before you try to store them. If you stack them too soon, the mummy bandages might get a little messy, but they will still taste delicious.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 24 candy eyeballs
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8 by 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- 3
Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract until well combined.
- 4
Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms.
- 5
Press the dough evenly into your prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- 6
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely before cutting them into rectangles.
- 7
Melt the white chocolate in a small bowl using short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
- 8
Drizzle the white chocolate back and forth over the cookie bars to create a mummy bandage look.
- 9
Place two candy eyes on each bar while the chocolate is still wet and let them sit until the chocolate is firm.
💡 Tips
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can freeze the bars before adding the chocolate drizzle and eyes for up to one month.
