No Bake Mummy Cookies
Description
This recipe transforms simple store-bought cookies into themed mummies by decorating them with white frosting piped in ribbon-like stripes. The frosting is applied carefully to avoid covering candy eyes, which serve as the key detail for the mummy effect. The technique involves flattening the frosting tip to deliver wider bands rather than strings, adding to the wrapped appearance. Once decorated, the frosting sets to hold the design before serving.
The approach simplifies making themed cookies without the need to bake from scratch, saving time and effort. It works well for parties or holiday celebrations, offering a fun hands-on activity as well as a visually appealing dessert.
Recipes can be scaled up for larger groups. Testing frosting consistency beforehand helps ensure the desired ribbon effect. Variations in cookie type allow customization according to taste or availability.
Ingredients
- 10 cookies I use White Fudge Ding Dongs, but use any type you like
- 1 tube cookie frosting I used Betty Crocker White Cookie Frosting, white
- 20 Candy eyes
Instructions
- Open the cookies and transfer them to a cooling rack.
- Snip the tip off the white cookie frosting tube and use a flat knife to flatten the frosting tube tip so frosting comes out in ribbons (not strings).
- Pipe on 2 small dots of frosting and attach 2 candy eyes to the center of each cookie.
- Then pipe long ribbons of frosting across each cookie (avoiding the eyes) in a mummy bandage pattern.
- Let the Mummy Cookies dry before serving.
Notes
- You can double or triple the recipe to make a larger batch for parties or gatherings.
- Test the frosting consistency before decorating to ensure it pipes out in ribbons, not strings, for best visual effect.
