These Mummy Oreos are incredibly easy to make with just 3 ingredients – you can whip them up in no time with the kids. They are such a fun way to celebrate Halloween!

I love nothing more than an easy food craft that comes out with amazing results! Last year I tried to make these very ornate, very complicated, very perfect decorated cookies for Halloween… And we ended up with a stressed out mom, unhappy kids and quite sub-par cookies 🙈

This year I decided on the smart route and made my life as simple as possible. In return, our Halloween treats turned out so much better and we had so much fun making them!

Ingredients you’ll need

Here is a visual overview of the ingredients in the recipe. Scroll down to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post for quantities!

Ingredients for mummy decorated Oreo cookies: Oreos, melted white chocolate (OR candy melts) in a piping bag and candy eyes.

Ingredient notes

  • Cookies: These really look best with dark colored Oreo cookies, but feel free to use a different variety if you prefer. Double stuf or regular both work.
  • White chocolate: I went with white chocolate here because that’s what I had on hand, but you could also go with white candy melts.
  • Candy eyes: I went with two different sizes for a fun look, you could also do more scary candy eyes – we went for a little creepy but mostly cute.

Step by step photos

1) Put a little melted white chocolate on the back of the eyes and 2) stick them to the cookie. 3) Drizzle melted chocolate over the cookie in thin strands to mimic the fabric wrapped around a mummy. 4) The cookies look even better with a second drizzle once the first layer has firmed up!

Recipe tips

  • Make sure to let the melted chocolate or candy melts cool for 10-15 minutes after melting them. It should still be easy to pipe, but have the texture of thick glue. If you pipe it right away when it’s still hot and very runny, you’ll just flood the cookie vs make lines.
  • I always decorate these on a few sheets of clean parchment paper – makes them easy to move and easy to peel off. I also recommend moving them to a clean parchment twice after decorating them: Once about 15 minutes after drizzling on the candy melts, and once again about 30 minutes later. This will remove any drips on the side and give you a cleaner edge.
  • Let the cookies dry completely before touching them, at least a couple of hours and up to overnight.
  • I like to go over and under the eyes with the candy melts in a slightly rounded movement a few times, to make the eyes look more like they’re peeking out from the fabric.

Storage tips

Store the decorated and fully dried cookies in single layers in cookie tins. They keep for up to a week at room temperature, though in hotter climates I recommend storing them in the fridge.

  • Carefully transfer decorated cookies to a clean sheet of baking parchemnt about 15 minutes after decorating them, then once again 30 minutes later.
