I chose to decorate my Halloween Mickey Mouse Oreo Cookies using Candy Clay (modeling chocolate).

Have you ever made or used Candy Clay?

Candy Clay is a simple two-ingredient recipe that makes a fondant-like dough that tastes like chocolate.

I just published Candy Clay Creations, an in-depth 118-page e-book filled with tips and tricks for working with candy clay. It's the ultimate guide to making and decorating with candy clay.

You can also find the Candy Clay recipe on my Chocolate Making Tips page.

I've been waiting for what seems like forever to share my Halloween version of these Mickey Mouse cookies with you. I got so excited creating these that not only did I write this step-by-step tutorial for you but I also created and edited my very first tutorial video. Oh, I have so much to learn, but I hope you enjoy my first attempt at this video thing!

Below I'll show you step-by-step tutorials for creating 6 of the Halloween Mickey Mouse Cookies:

Watch the video to see how to make the Mickey Mouse Oreo Cookies then make candy clay to use for decorating your cookies.

To make most of the decorations you can simply:

• roll out candy clay on a silicone mat or a corn starch or powdered sugar-dusted cutting board
• cut out the decorations using a hobby knife, cookie cutters, plunger cutters, or kitchen shears
• use a clay extruder to make candy clay ribbons

Then use:

• a very small amount of clear piping gel or water to attach the candy clay pieces together
• melted chocolate or Candy Melts to attach the candy clay decorations to the Oreo Cookies

In the instructions below, I'll show you the tools I've used, but you can choose what is easiest for you.

Mickey Mouse Wizard Cookies

• Roll out yellow candy clay as thin as possible.
• Roll out blue candy clay to about ⅛th inch thickness.
• Use a small star plunger cutter or metal cutter to cut two stars out of the yellow candy clay.
• Cut one crescent moon out of the yellow candy clay using a round fondant cutter or knife.
• Draw a wizard hat on paper then use it as a template to cut a blue candy clay wizard hat.
• Use piping gel or water as "glue" to attach the stars and moon to the hat.
• Let candy clay wizard hat dry for 10 minutes.
• Use melted chocolate or Candy Melts to attach the hat to the Oreo Cookie Mickey Mouse.

Mickey Mouse Mummy Oreo Cookies

• Roll a heaping tablespoonful of white candy clay into a log and insert it into a clay extruder fitted with the large ribbon disc.
• Insert the plunger and extrude the candy clay in long ribbons.
• If you don't have a clay extruder you can roll out some white candy clay and cut it into ¼ inch wide strips.
• Lay a strip of white candy clay over the top of the Oreo Cookie and cut it off so that you have about ½ inch of the strip to wrap around and press onto the back of the cookie.
• Continue adding strips making the Oreo Mickey look like he's wrapped up like a mummy.
• Add some strips over each mini Oreo Cookie ear then insert each ear into the larger Oreo cookie.
• Dust some cocoa powder over the white candy clay strips to make the mummy look old.
