If you are hosting a Halloween party or get-together over the next few days, you might be looking for fun, easy recipes to make life a little easier. We’ve gone into the Disney vault to find a simple crowd-pleaser that also looks great for the occasion. For this week’s Saturday Cooking Sesh, let’s try the Hidden Mickey Halloween Cooke Recipe from D23 below!
Hidden Mickey Halloween Cookies Recipe – D23
Cookie Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder (Dutch-processed recommended)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Filling Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 2/3 cup confectionersā sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Pinch of salt
- Food coloring (purple, green, orange)
Directions
- 1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar until well combined. Whisk in the vanilla and melted chocolate. Add in the egg and whisk until combined.
- 2. In another bowl, stir flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda until combined. Stir flour mixture into the chocolate mixture. Let the dough sit for an hour to firm up.
- 3. Transfer the dough to a sheet of wax paper. Shape into a log about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll log in wax paper and shape as you roll to maintain a smooth cylinder. Twist ends of paper to help keep the shape compact. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. (If log flattens on one side, rotate every 30 minutes or so to maintain a round shape.)
- 4. Heat oven to 325Ā° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 5. Cut dough in 1/4-inch thick slices and place on prepared baking sheet.
- 6. Use a 2āā round pastry cutter to cut out a smooth circle for each slice.
- 7. Cut out a Mickey shape on half of the slices (in the middle of each) using a 3/4ā³ round pastry cutter for the head and the back of a large, round pastry tip for the ears.
- 8. Bake for about 15 minutes or until cookies are firm to the touch.
- 9. Cool and prepare the filling. In a mixer, beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add milk and salt, and continue beating until smooth again. Then add preferred food coloring.
- 10. Place filling into a pastry bag and pipe filling on the bottom of the plain cookies and sandwich Mickey cutout cookies on top.
