Directions:©I was inspired by these mummy cookies and used a similar technique of piping frosting across the cookies, using different angles and overlapping some of the lines until most of the cookie was covered. Then I placed a tiny bit of frosting on the back of two candy eyeballs and attached them just above the center of each cookie.
Making the cookies look like mummies is really easy, you just need a few tools including a piping tip and candy eyes. I used the walmart brand candy eyes, which should be easy to find at most large grocery stores and craft stores this time of

Substitutions and Notes:
Flour: I haven’t tested this recipe with any different types of flour so I don’t recommend subbing the flours. They’re delicious as is! If you want a soft pumpkin cookie with all-purpose flour, there are . Here’s one!plenty
Cane sugar: I have tested this recipe with coconut sugar and it works great, but does make the cookies a bit darker in color which is why I use cane sugar. I haven’t tested the recipe with other natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey. If you decide to try it, let me know how the cookies turn out.
Canned pumpkin: If you can’t find canned pumpkin, you can make your own pumpkin puree or use canned butternut squash.
Eggs: I haven’t tested this recipe with flax eggs, chia eggs or egg replacer and I’m not sure the cookies will turn out well with these substitutes. I recommend trying my vegan pumpkin cookies if you need an egg-free recipe. They’d make a great base for these mummies.
Another note: If you want to make these mummy cookies, but don’t love the idea of pumpkin cookies, you can always use my healthy sugar cookies as the base and decorate those to be mummies instead. I tried it and it worked great, there’s just less contrast since the sugar cookies are light in color.

How to Store Soft Pumpkin Cookies
Allow your cookies to cool completely before storing in the fridge! You can frost your cookies and store (the frosting will harden in the fridge) or just store the cookies unfrosted and frost them, as well as, add the eyes right before serving. If you have multiple layers of cookies in a container, use parchment paper to separate the layers. Cookies will keep in the fridge for up to one week. I haven’t tried freezing these cookies and while I think it would work fine, I’m not sure how the texture would be affected if you freeze them.
