Mummy cookies are a fun idea for Halloween. Simply repurpose a gingerbread man cookie cutter and add royal icing to mimick a bandaged body.

Homemade cookies are the best!! These mummy cookies would make a fabulous addition to your child's lunchbox in the lead up to Halloween. Seriously!! What would your child say when they opened their lunch box and saw a bandaged mummy with googly eyes looking up at them!?!

To make the cookies I have used my trusty, never fail sugar cookie dough and added cocoa powder because I like the contrast between the dark cookie dough and the white icing. You could just use my regular sugar dough recipe if you would prefer, or divide the dough in half and add cocoa powder to one half only.

Icing the Mummy Cookies

Tips for icing the cookies:

  • use a flat tip for the bandages. If you use a round tip it will look like the mummy is covered in a string, not bandages, The flat tip looks like a letterbox slit.
  • place the icing in the piping bag as soon as it is made. Royal icing sets quickly!
  • Once you start piping bandages onto a mummy try not to break the flow of icing. Stopping and starting on a mummy can get a little messy. 

Mummy Jokes

I can't resist sharing some bad jokes about mummies... they're very much "dad jokes" but a bit of fun for Halloween.

Q: Why were ancient Egyptian children confused?
A: Because their daddies were mummies!

Q: Where do mummies go for a swim?
A: To the dead sea!

Q: What is the most important day in Egypt?
A: Mummy’s Day!

Q: Why do mummies have trouble keeping friends?
A: They’re too wrapped up in themselves!

Q: What kind of music do mummies like most?
A: Wrap music!

Q: What is mummy’s favourite kind of coffee?
A: De-coffin-ated!

Q: How do you use an ancient Egyptian doorbell?
A: Toot-and-come-in!

Q: What do you get if you cross an Egyptian mummy with a car mechanic?
A: Toot and Car Man!

Yep! Okay, I think I've tortured everyone enough, take a look at the recipe below.

Assemble

Notes

Tip:
Always flatten the cookie dough prior to resting in the fridge. The dough will chill a lot quicker and it will be easier to work with when rolling it out.
Store the completed cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
