These munchy mummy cookies were hands down the kids favorite from the Halloween Babushka cookies I made up.
In case you've missed the last few posts I have a set of
terrifying adorable babushka Halloween cookies that I whipped up and am trying to make my way through the tutorials before the 31st of October.
So far I have posted the instructions for:
Evil Ghost (Click here for instructions)
Screaming Ghoul (Click here for instructions) and
Cute Monster (Click here for instructions)
Tip - If you make these munchy mummy's try to roll out the fondant as thin as possible as there ends up being a bit more than I usually use due to the double layer.
You can either use a beige look 'bandaid' wrapping like I did in the picture or the plain white fondant would look just as good.
I was even going to make up a pink version before I ran out of time and had to pack the kitchen up.......maybe next Halloween.

Munchy Mummy Halloween Babushka Cookies Instructions

Sweets on a Stick)
Babushka cookie cutter

1. Knead the beige (or white) fondant until pliable. Dust the workbench with cornflour
(corn starch) or rub on a little crisco/oil and roll out the fondant until a couple of mm's
(1/8") thin. Using the cookie cutter, press down and cut out a babushka shape.
Brush the cookie with a small amount of water and press the fondant onto
the cookie. Use the small rolling pin to adhere the fondant to the
cookie by pressing down lightly, if necessary gently roll out the
fondant to the sides of the cookie by lightly rolling the rolling pin
towards the edge.
2. Roll out a small amount of black fondant in an uneven circle and attach to the face area using a small amount of water.
3. Cut some of the remaining beige fondant into thin bandaid strips using the sharp knife.
4. Brush a tiny amount of water onto the fondant covered cookie, avoiding the black face and then adhere the bandaid strips in a random fashion, leaving a stripe of black face showing. Use the sharp knife to trim the excess bandaid strips away from the cookie.
5. Brush a little water on the black strip and adhere a set of eyes to the face area.
** The cookie cutters I used are from
Bisk-art and the easy vanilla sugar cookie dough recipe I used is from Sweets on a Stick.
