How to Make Mickey Mouse Sugar Cookies (With a Twist)

Make and Decorate Mickey Mouse Sugar Cookies!

Feeling a bit crafty and want to make something fun and delicious? It might be even easier than you think to make these fancy iced Mickey Mouse sugar cookies. The kids will totally love making and eating these too!

We decided to design our Mickey Mouse cookies with the classic Incredibles colors and mask, but you can design your Mickey cookies however you want! You could do a standard Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, or you could do something else!

Since we made our Mickey Mouse cookies recipe for an Incredibles movie night, we thought this theme was pretty suiting. Want to know how to make your own? Let’s get started!

Step 1. Making the Mickey Mouse Cookies

First you get to make the sugar cookies. My kids always love to help cut out the cookie shapes! There are lots of Mickey Mouse cookie cutter options available on Amazon if you don’t already have one.

Once the cookies are baked and cooled, it is time to start icing them. It works well to use 3 disposable piping bags fitted with a number 2 round tip. Quick and easy clean up! Start with a red icing outline. This will help the thinned red icing to stay in place.

Step 2. Filling the Mickey Cookies

Once the outline is in place, use a squeeze bottle to fill in the Mickey head shape with the thinned red icing. Then let the iced cookies dry overnight, or until completely dry.

Step 3. Adding the Incredibles Mask

When the red icing has dried, the black icing comes into play for the outline of the mask and eyes.

Step 4. Filling in the Eyes

Then fill in the eyes with the white icing. Of the three different colors of icing, you’ll definitely need the least amount of the white since it’s just for the eyes!

Step 5. Filling in the Mask

To finish off all of the decorating fun, fill in the mask with the black icing. Let the icing dry completely, about 3 hours. Then show the cookies off a little and enjoy eating them with friends and family!

Final Thoughts

I absolutely love how these Mickey Mouse sugar cookies turned out! Not only do they look incredible (pun intended), but they taste incredible too!

I will admit though, these Mickey Mouse cookies a bit hard to eat at first because they’re basically pieces of art. After all that hard work you may be reluctant to eat one too, but just do it! You deserve it! Let us know how your Mickey cookies turn out in the comments below!

Royal icing directions:

• Scoop some white icing into one piping bag and set aside.
• Scoop some icing, about 3/4 up, into a bowl and add black food coloring and mix until combined. Scoop the black icing into piping bag.
• Using the remaining icing, add in red food coloring and mix until combined. Add in a few more drops of red food coloring to get the shade you want. Scoop a small amount into the piping bag and set aside. Mix in 2-3 tbsp of water into the remaining red icing and mix until combined. Pour into the squeeze bottle.
