Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 1 package Oreo cookies (14 oz regular or 15 oz double stuf)
Decoration
- 8 oz white chocolate for melting or white candy melts, melted and slightly cooled
- 60 edible candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare White Chocolate: Place the melted white chocolate into a piping bag fitted with a very thin tip. This will allow you to create fine drizzles that resemble mummy wrappings.
- Apply Eyes: Lay an Oreo cookie on a clean sheet of baking parchment. Using a small dot of melted white chocolate as glue, attach two edible candy eyes onto each cookie.
- Drizzle Mummy Wrappings: Drizzle thin strands of white chocolate over the cookie surface to mimic the mummy’s fabric wrapping. Allow the chocolate to set and dry naturally.
- First Drying Phase: Carefully transfer the decorated cookies to a fresh sheet of baking parchment about 15 minutes after decorating to ensure crisp, clean edges. Repeat this transfer once more 30 minutes later. Avoid touching the cookies with your fingers during drying to maintain the design.
- Final Drying and Optional Second Layer: Let the cookies dry fully for several hours or preferably overnight. For a more authentic mummy look, drizzle a second layer of white chocolate over the dried first layer once it has fully set.
Notes
- Use white candy melts as an easy alternative to white chocolate; follow package instructions for melting.
- Ensure the melted chocolate is cooled slightly before piping to prevent melting the Oreo filling.
- Handle cookies carefully while wet chocolate is drying to maintain the design integrity.
- Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh.
- This recipe makes approximately 30 decorated cookies using one package of Oreos.
