Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup white chocolate melting wafers
  • 8 edible candy eyes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough into four equal pieces and shape each into a small rectangle.
  • Place the rectangles on the baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the edges turn lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely on the sheet.
  • Melt the white chocolate wafers in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over each cookie in thin, overlapping lines to create a mummy wrap effect. Press two candy eyes onto the chocolate on each cookie while it is still soft.

Notes

Let the chocolate set at room temperature so the stripes stay defined and do not run together. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If the white chocolate thickens while working, warm it briefly to keep the drizzle smooth.
