In keeping with the Halloween spirit, here is a fairly easy treat to make. Chocolate cookies are shaped into a mummy form and then coated with white chocolate. Before it sets, you use a toothpick to mark the bandages. To speed up the process, put them into the fridge to harden. Be creative, there are no wrong mummies. These were a big hit with my kids!

2. Ingredients for Mummy Cookies
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1⅓ cups AP flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 package white chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp shortening (it has to be shortening if you want them white)
3. Directions:
- Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave.
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Add the egg and vanilla.
- Add the cooled chocolate.
- Combine the remaining dry ingredients in a small bowl and add to the chocolate mixture until well incorporated.
- Form little balls for the mummies’ heads and longer thicker rectangles for the bodies.
- It’s about 1 tsp for the head and 1 Tbsp for the bodies.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until done.
- Let cool on a wire rack until completely cold.
- Melt the white chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave…1 minute at a time, stirring well after each minute.
- Place a cookie on a table knife and spoon the chocolate over the cookie, letting it drip off the sides.
- If the chocolate isn’t runny enough, add more shortening and reheat as needed.
- Let it cool slightly, so it’s just barely pliable and make the bandage markings with a toothpick.
