View postMummy Shortbread Cookies are the perfect decorated Halloween Cookies with flavors of vanilla, cinnamon & nutmeg. So cute & easy to make!
When it comes to Halloween, I’m all about the super cute homemade treats. Don’t get me wrong, we also have our fair share of candy around here.
But I really love making treats, especially when they are super cute. That could be why I think I have more treats specifically for Halloween than for any other holiday.
Don’t miss my other super cute Mummy Cookies too!
What I love about these cookies, is that not only are they adorable, but they are packed with delicious fall flavors like vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. I don’t think I can get enough of those flavors once fall comes around.
I mean, shortbread cookies are delicious all by themselves. So buttery – I could eat them every single day. But adding my favorite fall flavors just makes these irresistible.
The shortbread cookies only take a handful of ingredients. Just mix it up, form the dough into a flat round, roll it out and cut with cookie cutters.
Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, bake and then decorate.
The best part is that because they are mummy cookies, the drizzle can be as tidy or messy as you like. Get the kiddos in there and let them help too.
Once the chocolate on the cookies has dried and hardened, you can place them in an airtight container to store them at room temperature. I personally like to keep them in a single layer, but they should be okay to stack once they are dry.
Absolutely. This recipe makes 12 cookies. Perfect for family enjoyment. But if you are making these for a party or potluck – I recommend doubling the recipe.
I don’t recommend freezing the cookies after they have been decorated. You can freeze the dough once it is mixed. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap first. You can also freeze the cookies in an airtight container after they have baked. Use within 3 months.
This is really a personal preference. If you are happy with just a little salt to cut the sweetness, then use salted butter.
I usually use whatever I have on hand & I really don’t pay too close attention to what butter I have. But I typically keep salted butter on hand & I love that little bit of extra salt with the sweet in this recipe.
These days with groceries being more difficult to find – I basically get whatever the store has available at the time and make it work.
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.
The official way is to spoon the flour into the measuring cup & level off. This makes sure the flour isn’t packed tightly into your measuring cup, adding more than you need, as that will make your recipe too dry.
However – if you fluff your flour with a spoon, then gently scoop the flour into the measuring cup, taking care to not pack the flour – that should work for this recipe.
Yes, these cookies can be made as a traditional shortbread cookie. Just leave out the cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg in the mixing process.
I’m not sure just yet. I have been meaning to give this a try but haven’t had a chance. If you do try this, I would recommend using a 1:1 flour like this one as I don’t believe it would require additional ingredients that are typically called for when trying to make baked recipes in a gluten-free version. Please come back & tell me how it turned out.
You can use white chocolate instead of candy melts, however, it is difficult to temper and often has a yellow tint. Bright white candy melts are highly recommended.
Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. This recipe works with almond or coconut milk too.
This dough can be made up to 24 hours in advance but you’ll need to let it soften before you can roll it— I recommended bringing it to room temperature for at least 45 minutes before rolling.
This recipe for Mummy Shortbread Cookies is SUPER EASY and delicious – and if you’re like me this time of year, then you maybe already have some of these items on hand OR maybe you have never made decorated shortbread cookies before, & you might be a bit nervous – but you’re going to love them. I have made a list below of the things I absolutely can’t live without when it comes to making this cookie recipe.

There have been a lot of different ways to make Dulce de Leche (milk caramel) floating around lately. Some of you may wonder what all the hype is about.
Some of you may be hesitant to give it a try because you just don’t know how it will turn out. I did give it a try – several times.

View postPumpkin Spice Truffles are a quick and easy no-bake treat made with golden Oreo cookies, white chocolate and cute fall leaf sprinkles for the season.
One thing I never really noticed until about a week ago was how much my hubs loves pumpkin pie spice. He has a lot of flavors on his favorite list but I never really thought pumpkin pie spice was one of them – until I made these Pumpkin Spice Truffles that he went nuts over.
I always love it when I can create something that he swoons over. It just gives me one more little thing I can add to my list of nice things I can do for him at random.

View postSugar Skull Cookie Dough is a quick and easy Halloween treat. Green and purple egg-free cookie dough loaded with sugar skull sprinkles is a perfect Day of the Dead dessert.
If you have been around here for a while, you know that I am completely obsessed with Sugar Skulls. I collect them and get super excited about all things Day of the Dead.
So it should come as no surprise that I picked up some super cute Day of the Dead sprinkles when I was doing some shopping a few weeks ago. Of course, I had to come up with something awesome to make with them.
Be sure to add these Broken Glass Cupcakes to your Halloween celebrations too!
I’m not really sure why I love sugar skulls. But I have them everywhere around here. I’m always looking for fun ways to add them to our everyday life.
Knowing this, my sweet daughter was so kind as to surprise me with this adorable sugar skull bowl as a gift one day. So I had to find a cute way to use it.
Don’t miss our Halloween Cookie Dough too!
This time of year, it seems every place has a little collection of new things in Day of the Dead. So I get pretty excited when my “stock up season” comes around and I can easily add to my collection.
Don’t miss my Sugar Skull- Day of the Dead Face Painting tutorial.
I think it may have something to do with all the bright colors. They aren’t the traditional orange and black that have dominated Halloween for decades.
You get all the vivid colors that are so stunning. Which is why I love it so much and chose to make this cookie dough in bright neon green and purple.
This cookie dough is best when kept refrigerated in an airtight container. Just make sure to let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before enjoying so it can soften up a bit.
You bet. Gluten-Free Flour works just fine. I would recommend using a 1:1 flour like this one .
You can, and we do it often. If you are making this for a Halloween party, I highly recommend doubling this recipe.
Yes, I do it often. Instead of freezing it in a container, I recommend either forming it into a flat square and then wrapping it tightly with plastic wrap and then foil OR double bagging it in zip-top bags before freezing.
You don’t want there to be any air getting to it as it will be dry and crumbly when you thaw it to eat later. Make sure you mark the date on it before freezing and use within 2-3 months.
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.
Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. If you need to use almond, coconut or oat milk, that will all work great too.
This recipe makes enough to split between my 3 kids and me. So if you only want enough for yourself, make 1/4 of the recipe.
This is really a personal preference. If you are happy with just a little salt to cut the sweetness, then use unsalted butter.
I usually use whatever I have on hand because when the craving strikes, I really don’t care about what butter I have. But I typically keep salted butter on hand & I love that little bit of extra salt with the sweet in this dough.
Nope. This dough doesn’t contain any of the ingredients you would need to get this dough to bake into cookies.
Things like levening agents like baking soda & eggs are needed in regular cookie dough. They are what hold the dough together when it is heated & what makes the cookies rise & keep their shape.
If you were to bake this dough it would result in a puddle of goo on your baking pan.
This is important – just because the package says “sprinkles” doesn’t necessarily mean that it is in-fact sprinkles.
I see a lot of people using colored sanding sugar that is labled as sprinkles.
This will not work as well because when that sugar gets wet – like when mixed into a moist dough or when placed in the refrigerator, it will sweat & the color will bleed out.

I have been super busy in the kitchen this past week. The snow has arrived & so I have been finding that love for baking on chilly days again.

Need a Low-Carb version? Don’t miss my Keto Sugar Cookies – just 1 net carb!
I was so excited to play with my new cookie cutters. I had this fall leaf shape for years. Then all of a sudden I couldn’t find it. I must have given it to my mom since she liked it so much. That’s the only thing I can think of because I would have never let go of it otherwise.
So when I found it again I picked one up & I bought the pumpkin shape too. The thing I like best about these is that they are super soft with a slight buttery crunch on the outer edges.
I poured 1/2 my bag of fall M&M’s into a baggie & handed it to my daughter with a hammer. This is totally optional.
She helped me get them all crunched up for the cookies. But you can add whatever sprinkles or toppings you like. Or yo can leave them with just the frosting.
I tried to send some of these to the firehouse with the hubs. He protested because he wanted them for here. 🙂
So only 4 actually made it to the station out of this batch. I will have to make more for the boys I suppose.
This recipe makes about 18-24 cookies but this will depend on how large or small you make them. With these large cookie cutters, it may be a few less.
Once the cookies have cooled, and the icing has hardened, place them in an airtight container, and keep at room temperature for up to 4 days.
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.
When making a traditional cut out sugar cookie recipe like this one, I like to keep the butter unsalted.
I’m not sure just yet. I have been meaning to give this a try but haven’t had a chance.
