Instructions
- Make the cookie dough: Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter with sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
- Bake the cookies: Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes, until set but still soft. Cool completely before decorating.
- Decorate like mummies: Pipe buttercream in crisscross lines to look like mummy bandages. Press two candy eyes into the frosting.
- Serve: Let frosting firm slightly, then serve as a festive Halloween treat.
Notes
- Cookie base: Use sugar or peanut butter cookies instead of chocolate.
- Color twist: Tint buttercream green or purple with food coloring.
- Alternative icing: Use melted white chocolate or royal icing instead of buttercream.
- Eye substitutes: Mini M&Ms or chocolate chips work if candy eyes aren’t available.
