Mummy Cookies

Mummy Cookies are a playful and spooky treat, perfect for Halloween festivities. With simple sugar cookie dough and creative icing, these cookies can be easily transformed into edible mummies, complete with candy eyes for a fun, festive touch. Whether for a party or a fun family activity, these cookies will surely delight you!

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups almond flour, 175 grams
3 Tablespoons coconut flour
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup cane sugar, or coconut sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pumpkin, canned or homemade
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips, I used Enjoy Life
vanilla frosting, for piping

Instructions 
1. Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Mix dry ingredients: Mix dry ingredients (flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and sea salt) in a mixing bowl.
3. Mix wet ingredients: Mix wet ingredients (eggs, pumpkin, sugar, and vanilla) in a separate mixing bowl.
4. Combine: Combine wet and dry ingredients. The dough will seem wet for a cookie dough. This is ideal!
5. Add chocolate chips: Stir in 1/3 cup chocolate chips.
6. Scoop: Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop and place cookies on the prepared cookie sheet. Press cookie dough down into a cookie shape with a spoon or your fingers. Cookies won’t spread much, so you can space them about 1 inch apart.
7. Bake: Bake for 15 minutes.
8. Cool: Move cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
9. Decorate with frosting: add frosting to the piping bag fitted with a #44 or #45 tip and pipe the frosting across each cookie, one at a time. Use different angles and overlap some of the lines until most of the cookie is covered. Place a tiny bit of frosting on the back of two candy eyeballs and attach them just above the center of each cookie.
10. To store: store leftover cookies in a container in the fridge for up to one week.

Cut the remaining half into long strips for the mouth. Cut the smallest cornichons in half lengthwise for eyebrows. Cut a thin slice for the nose. Place olive slices for eyes.

Silly Apple Bites

Silly Apple Bites are a fun and healthy snack, perfect for kids. Made by cutting apple slices into “mouths” and stuffing them with peanut butter, then using almonds or sunflower seeds for “teeth” and strawberries or grapes for “tongues,” these playful apple bites are both nutritious and entertaining.

2 green apples, each quartered
sunflower butter
32 sunflower seeds
2–3 strawberries, sliced
1–2 homemade googly eyes per apple bite

Instructions

2. Coat the inside of the cut gap with a filling of sunflower butter.
3. Place 4 sunflower seeds on the top of the “mouth” for the teeth.
4. Place 1 sliced strawberry inside the mouth for the tongue.
