Mickey-Shaped Chocolate-Dipped Sugar Cookies

For the most recent issue of WDW Magazine, which was an entire issue on Christmas at WDW, I contributed to the section “Bringing the Magic Home” with a recipe for chocolate-dipped Mickey head sugar cookies…with sprinkles, of course!

At first, we tried to take the easy way out and bought pre-made sugar cookie dough…the kind in a tube at the grocery store. Brett rolled it out flat, cut the Mickey heads and then put them in the oven…where they puffed out far beyond being recognizable as a Mickey head. Fail.

After those were consumed (we had to hide the evidence of mistakes, duh!), Brett found this recipe for rolled sugar cookie dough…which was a success! Apparently, the rolled recipe is what you need to make sure the cookies keep their shape. So here is what you’ll need:

Mickey Head cookie cutter

Mickey sprinkles (or any type of sprinkles)

Melting chocolates

and for the sugar cookies (insert the amount of servings on the linked recipe page to determine the amounts you’ll need of each ingredient):

Butter, softened

White sugar

Eggs

All-Purpose Flour

Baking Powder

Vanilla extract

Salt

Once the sugar cookie dough is made, roll it out flat and use a Mickey head cookie cutter to cut out each cookie.

Try to maximize the cuts to make as many cookies as possible!

Place them on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Cook according to the recipe. Once they’re done, place them on a rack to cool and sprinkle with extra sugar (optional).

Once the cookies have cooled, melt the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave. Make sure the bowl is deep enough so that the chocolate will cover the top of the Mickey head when dunked.

Dunk the top of the Mickey head cookies into the chocolate, then lay flat back on the cookie rack.

Sprinkle Mickey sprinkles on top of the chocolate. We got these sprinkles in WDW!

You can let the chocolate harden or eat them soon after the chocolate cools. I think Trent enjoyed them very much….

These are also perfect for our Disney Milk-and-Cookies for Santa platter (also from WDW!).

 

I’m also really excited about the article I contributed to the next issue of WDW Magazine, which is all about the best time to visit WDW. The magazine will be packed with all kinds of great advice and fantastic photos (including many from Brett). You can learn more about WDW Magazine here.
