Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, use the white icing to create mummy bandages. Pipe thin lines of icing back and forth across the cookie, leaving a small gap for the eyes.
- Place two mini chocolate chips in the gap you left for the eyes.
- Let the icing set before serving.
Notes
You can use store-bought cookie dough for an even quicker version. For different colored mummies, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the dough before baking.
