Did you hear about the mummy who could never take a vacation? He was too scared he’d relax and unwind. Or the mummy that could never make any new friends, because he was way too wrapped up in himself?
I can’t say Halloween is my favorite holiday. I am the biggest scared-y cat in the world and anything that is scary, creepy or gory gets me all tense and freaked out. So I choose to avoid scaring things as much as possible. Don’t EVER ask me to go see a horror movie! But aside from all the blood guts and gore that comes with Halloween I do love making fun cookie creations and of course eating massive amounts of candy.
These mummy cookies are super simple, easy and amazingly delicious! Inspired by all the mummy cookies debuting on Pinterest this Halloween that take sugar cookies and wrap them in white icing with two little eyes, I decided to do the same with pie crust as the mummy cookie wrappings, and fill it with pumpkin cream cheese pie filling because no, I am not sick and tired of pumpkin yet! I also bought these super cute eyes from Michaels (sad to admit) years ago and decided these pumpkin pie mummy cookies, would be the perfect time to use them!
I have yet to master the skill of the perfect pie crust and I was feeling lazy today so I chose to use store bought pie crust. You can always choose to make your own pie crust but the store bought crusts makes these cookies super easy.
The basic steps are to place your pumpkin cream cheese pie filling on the bottom half of the pie crust. Try making this layer as even as possible for an evenly distributed filling. With a pastry cutter or pizza cutter, cut the other half of the pie dough into small strips, creating the mummy wrappings. Once you’ve done that, you then cut out the individual mummy cookies with a cookie cutter or biscuit cutter. Make sure you wait until the cookies have baked to add the eyes or they will melt in the oven.
And one last joke to leave you guys hanging. What is a mummy’s favorite kind of underwear? Any guesses?
Tired these and my mixture was a bit runny. And I put the mixture in the fridge for a bit so it can firm up, but when it came time to cut out the circles, it was pretty messy…did this happen to you?
they look so yummy and so cute for Halloween!
