Ingredient Notes

Here are some notes on the ingredients. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.

• Bob's Red Mill Unbleached White All-purpose Flour- I used Bob's Red Mill flour because they have the most high quality flour!
• Unsweetened cocoa powder- For best results use Dutch-process cocoa powder for a more rich cookie. I used this one.
• Melted chocolate- I used two of the Lindt 70% chocolate bars. It needs to be melted and cooled before using.
• Unsalted butter- It needs to be cooled after melting, so prepare it slightly before you use it.
• Brown sugar- I used light brown sugar.
• Eggs + Egg yolk- Pull the large eggs out 2 hours before baking. The extra egg yolk helps with the fudgy texture!
• Chocolate chips- Use semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips. I don't recommend milk chocolate chips because it will be too sweet!
• Candy eyes- I used these Candy eyes. Any candy eyes around the size of an M&M should work.
• White chocolate- If you are unable to use a white chocolate bar, high quality white chocolate chips can be used. Use a good quality like Ghirardelli.

The Best Quality of Flour

The best part about these cookies is the soft and fudgy cookie texture. I prefer to bake with Bob's Red Mill flour because with a protein content of 10-12%, it lends a lighter texture as opposed to the typical 13% of other all purpose flours.

Step By Step Instructions

Here is how to make and bake these mummy cookies. You will need an electric mixer. A stand mixer with paddle attachment or hand mixer will work.

STEP 1: Melt the chocolate. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place in a microwave save bowl and melt into 15-20 second intervals until melted.

STEP 2: Mix the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder together. Then, add the baking powder and salt.

STEP 3: Beat the sugar and eggs. In a large bowl using a mixer, beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolk on high speed for 3 minutes.

STEP 4: Mix in butter, vanilla and chocolate. Add the melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate. Mix on high speed for 1 minute.

STEP 5: Add the flour mixture. Mix in the dry ingredients mix using a rubber spatula until just combined. Then add in the chocolate chips as well.

STEP 6: Chill. Place the cookie dough in the fridge for 10-15 minutes while the oven preheats. It needs a very short chill time.

STEP 7: Bake. Using a large cookie scoop (3 Tablespoons), scoop 6 cookie dough balls each on cookie sheets with parchment paper. Bake one of your prepared baking sheets at a time for 13-15 minutes.

Let them sit in the hot pan for 5 minutes before you place your cookie on a wire rack to cool.

STEP 8: Decorate. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 second intervals. Make sure to stir very well so there are no lumps.

Drizzle the melted white chocolate on top of the cookies in zig zags. A squeeze bottle or piping bag with a small round tip is easiest (a thick plastic bag can work). Add the candy eyeballs to complete the mummy look. See the pictures for guidance.

Expert Baking Tips

• Flour- Make sure the flour is spooned and leveled. If you stick the measuring cup directly into the flour, it will compact the flour. Compacted flour can cause the cookies to not spread.
• If the cookies are spreading, make sure you are using parchment paper on the cookie sheet. If it still spreads too much, you chill the cookie dough balls for 10-15 minutes.
• If you live at high altitude, add an extra 1 Tablespoons of flour. This will help with the spread.
• The cookies should be slightly underdone, because they will continue to cook as they cool. This helps to make sure they have chewy centers.
• When the cookies are fresh out of the oven, use a large biscuit cutter to scoot the cookies to perfect circles. Then, top with extra chocolate chips and sea salt flakes.

Storing and Freezing
