Author: Alisa Fleming
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 12 Oreo Mint Cookies (gluten-free, if needed)
- ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet)
- 48 dairy-free candy eyeballs (or see Option below)
- Halloween colored round sprinkles
- ¼ cup dairy-free white chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life) OR Quick Vanilla Icing (recipe below)
Instructions
- Place a sheet of parchment on a small baking sheet that's big enough for 12 Oreo cookies.
- Carefully twist the top cookie off each sandwich cookie so you have one crunchy cookie and one crunchy cookie with all of the green icing.
- Melt the chocolate using my easy countertop method. This is far better for dipping than the microwave method.
- Drop a cookie without icing in the melted chocolate and coat it. Lift it out with a fork, tap the fork on the side of the bowl to level the chocolate and allow excess to fall. Then wipe the bottom of the fork on the side as you transfer the cookie to your prepared baking sheet. Gently push the cookie onto the parchment paper. Repeat this step with the remaining non-iced cookie halves and chocolate.
- Put two candy eyes on each chocolate-dipped cookie half.
- Place the chocolate-dipped cookie halves in the refrigerator.
- Set the green iced cookie halves on a plate, icing side up. Gently press two candy eyeballs (or one for a cyclops look) into the icing on each cookie. Sprinkle each with the round sprinkles.
- Put the white chocolate chips in a small bowl and microwave for 20 seconds. Stir well. If not melted, microwave in 10 second intervals, stirring between each, until it is just melted.
- Scrape the melted white chocolate into a small plastic bag. Snip a bottom corner of the baggie to make a small hole for piping.
- Remove the chocolate-covered cookie halves from the refrigerator. Pipe the white chocolate across the each chocolate-covered half like bandages. It doesn't need to be neat and tidy. It's a mummy - tattered "bandages' are expected! If the cookies are still cool, the white chocolate will set up quickly. But you can refrigerate them for 10 minutes if it isn't set.
- If it isn't too warm or too humid, the cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, but I prefer to store them in the freezer for freshness.
Notes
Candy Eye Alternative: If you don't have candy eyes, increase the dairy-free white chocolate chips to ⅓ cup (or simply use the Vanilla Icing Recipe below). Pipe two dots of white chocolate (or icing) for the whites of the eyes and put an upside down dairy-free mini chocolate chip in the center of each eye.
Quick Vanilla Icing Recipe: In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 4 teaspoons unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. If it's too thick to pipe, add a little more water. If it's too thin, sprinkle in some more powdered sugar. Use this in place of the melted white chocolate.
