Maple Cinnamon Cookie Ingredients

The base for these Maple Cinnamon Mummy Cookies is a souped-up sugar cookie!

All-purpose Flour: Flour thickens the dough and helps these cookies rise so they’ll be fluffy.

Baking Powder: Also assists in rising, but it makes sure that the cookies cook evenly.

Baking Soda: Helps balance the flavors and adds the crispy outside.

Cinnamon: Oh, the magic of flavoring a sugar cookie dough with cinnamon. Be sure to try this in some of your other favorite sugar cookie recipes. It’s delicious.

Kosher Salt: An important flavor enhancer and due to it’s larger granular size, you’re actually using less than if you used table salt. If all you have is table salt, you’ll need to reduce the amount.

Unsalted Butter: Important to create a rich and creamy dough.

Packed Light Brown Sugar: Adds moisture to the cookie, this helps with creating a chewy cookie on the inside.

Maple Syrup: Another amazing flavor addition that makes these cookies soft and chewy!

Pure Vanilla Extract: A must-have to round out the flavors, without it the cookies will have a dull flavor.

Egg: Key ingredient to bind the dough together.

 

Vanilla Frosting Ingredients

Here are the ingredients to make a delicious homemade frosting. Homemade frosting is always tastier than store-bought since it is made with real butter and vanilla extract.

But, if you need a shortcut, feel free to use store-bought White Decorating Icing.

• Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter
• Powdered Sugar
• Pure Vanilla Extract
• Heavy Whipping Cream
• Large piping bag with #48 tip: This tip is important to get the icing to look like mummy strips because it makes wide flat pipping. Make sure the tip has a flat side and a rigid side. The rigid side makes a basketweave, while the flat side will make smooth ribbons.
• Garnish: 20 edible Candy Eyeballs

How to Make Mummy Cookies

Cookie Batter:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and set aside.

In a heatproof medium bowl, melt the butter, then set aside to cool slightly. Add brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the melted butter and stir well. Then add in the egg and stir until all ingredients are combined.

Combine the wet ingredients into the flour mixture by using a hand mixer on low speed until just combined, not over mixing the batter. Cover the batter with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Baking:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper so the cookies won’t stick.

With a large cookie scoop, make cookie balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Put the remaining cookie balls back in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and keep refrigerated.

Bake the first tray of cookie dough balls for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will puff up a little bit and the edges of the cookies should turn a slight beige. Set the cookie sheet aside to let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the second tray of cookie dough balls.

Frosting:

Using a stand mixer, beat the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream until creamy with a stiff peak.

Decorating:

Here’s the step-by-step directions to decorate these Maple Cinnamon Mummy Cookies:

Scoop the frosting into the piping bag, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to get all of it.

 

Make sure the ridged side of the tip is facing downwards.

Pipe thick lines randomly over the cookie, making sure to leave the middle space bare for the eyes

 

Pipe a small amount on the back of two eyes and place onto the middle of the cookies. Allow to firm up before enjoying

 

Variations and Substitutions

If you do not have everything on hand to make these Maple Cinnamon Mummy Cookies exactly as written, don’t worry! Here are some substitutions and variations that you can make:

• All-purpose flour can be substituted with gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour or whole wheat pastry flour.
• The brown sugar can be swapped for coconut sugar or granulated sugar, but the cookies may turn out a little drier. Brown sugar has added molasses that makes these cookies moist and tastier.
• If you don’t have maple syrup, you can use agave nectar or honey instead.
• You can add chocolate chips, chocolate chunks or chopped nuts to the dough before baking.
• You can use store-bought vanilla or cream cheese frosting instead of making your own.
• If you don’t have candy eyeballs, you can use chocolate chips or melted chocolate to dab two round eyes.

 

How to Store Leftovers

To keep them fresh and delicious, here are some tips:

• Keep these Maple Cinnamon Mummy Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for short-term storage. They should be fine for up to a week this way.
• For long-term storage, place the cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze them for up to 3 months. Then, thaw the cookies overnight in the fridge before enjoying them.
