To pipe the icing to make mummies, you can use any frosting you like, even store-bought. I'll provide a very simple sugar cookie icing recipe <\/a><\/strong>you can make in minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

tools and ingredients to make chocolate mummy cookies <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make cake mix cookies, you only need a box of chocolate cake mix<\/strong>, large eggs<\/strong>, and vegetable or canola oil<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need a couple baking trays<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Line your trays with parchment paper <\/a><\/strong>for best results and transfer baked cookies to a baking rack <\/a><\/strong>to fully cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A one-tablespoon cookie scoop <\/a><\/strong>helps portion your dough perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While our recipes provide both the metric and non-metric amounts, for best results, we recommend a  digital scale<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use an oven thermometer<\/a><\/strong> for accuracy. (This is how I know my oven runs 25 degrees cold.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

how to make icing and decorate cookies <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the icing, you'll need powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar) <\/strong>and milk<\/strong>. You may use any type of milk desired, including plant-based. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a pinch of salt<\/strong> for best results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also add some vanilla extract <\/strong>for flavor. Keep in mind vanilla will tint the icing a bit, unless you add clear vanilla extract<\/a><\/strong>. You may also brighten icing with white food coloring<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To pipe the icing on the cookies, I suggest using a 12-inch disposable decorating bag<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course you'll need candy eyes<\/a><\/strong>! (TIP: If you can't find candy eyes, use mini chocolate chips.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fill the decorating bag with the icing, close tightly with a rubber band, and snip the tip. Pipe icing back and forth and add candy eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Icing will dry to the touch within a few yours. (But will not dry hard.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
