Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature (for frosting)
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Candy eyes

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, corn starch, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the room temperature butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and pure vanilla extract and mix until well blended.
  4. Gradually mix in the flour mixture in small batches.
  5. Roll the dough into a log with a diameter of about 1.5 inches, wrap it tightly, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets.
  7. Slice the chilled dough into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 8-12 minutes until set, then let cool.
  9. To prepare frosting, beat the room temperature butter until light and fluffy, then mix in confectioners’ sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
  10. Using a piping bag, pipe the frosting onto each cookie to create ‘mummy wrappings’ and add candy eyes.

Notes

Chill the dough to ensure cookies hold shape while baking. Don’t overbake; cookies should be soft but set.
