Why I Love These Easy Mummy Cookies
- Easy to make: With only three ingredients, mummy cookies are a super simple treat to make with kids! If you love making monster Halloween cake pops, you will love these!
- Perfect for Halloween parties: Spooky, festive and fun, these are always the first treat to disappear at Halloween parties along with Halloween Rice Krispie treats!
Tips and Variations
- Eyes: Instead of candy eyeballs to decorate, you can use black pearl sprinkles or create eyes with a black icing gel writer.
- Cookie type: Any cookie with an oblong shape works in this mummy cookie recipe! Milano cookies dipped in white chocolate, Nabisco Nutter Butters, Vienna cookies, Keebler El fudge or white vanilla wafer sticks.
- High quality white chocolate coating: The chocolate will melt and taste better! I love Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers or Guittard.
- White chocolate chips: If you can only find white chocolate chips, add a pinch of coconut oil, vegetable shortening or vegetable oil for a smoother melt.
How to Make Mummy Cookies
Put white chocolate wafers in microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat in 15 second increments until melted and smooth, stirring each time. You can also melt white chocolate in a double boiler or on the stovetop.
Place a cookie into the melted white chocolate. Using a fork, flip the cookie a few times so it is completed covered in chocolate. Move dipped cookie to prepared baking sheet.
Pour melted chocolate into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off. Move it back and forth a few inches above the Halloween mummy cookies to make it look like mummy bandages / gauze.
Place candy eyes on cookies while the drizzle is still melted. Let the cookies sit for a few minutes until the chocolate is solid again. Once set, you can use kitchen shears to cut off excess chocolate after it hardens.

Mummy cookies are a spooky Halloween treat that are super simple to make with Nutter Butter cookies, white chocolate and candy eyes.
Prep: Place a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet or on the counter.
Melt chocolate: Put the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe bowl and microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat in 15 second increments until melted and smooth, stirring each time.
Dip cookies: Place a cookie into the melted chocolate. Using a fork, flip the cookie a few times so it is completed covered in chocolate. With the cookie on the fork, tap the fork a few times on the sides of the bowl. This will remove excess chocolate. Move the dipped cookie to the parchment and let sit until the chocolate solidifies. Repeat with all of the cookies.
Cut off excess chocolate: Once the chocolate has set, use kitchen shears to cut off the edges of the chocolate that spread while it was hardening.
Drizzle chocolate: Pour some melted chocolate into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off. Move it back and forth a few inches above the cookies to make it look like mummy gauze. Practice a bit on the parchment, if you need to.
Set the eyes: Place eyes on the cookie while the drizzle is still melted. Let the cookies sit for a few minutes until the chocolate is solid again. If needed, use the shears again to cut off any additional drizzle.
