The last two years, Miss G and I attended Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween and it just didn’t work out to go this year, so I thought making some Mickey Mouse Candy Corn Sugar Cookies would be a special treat to tide us over… at least until we can go back next year!

 A fun Disney-inspired Candy Corn Sugar Cookie recipe shaped like Mickey, these are the perfect fall dessert for parties

Disney Candy Corn Sugar Cookies Recipe

One of my favourite things about Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disney World is all of the delicious, themed desserts!

Last year, Ella and I had actually completed the Epcot Snack Challenge (we ate something in each of the 12 country pavilions) AND the “All 4 Parks in One Day” challenge (which meant one ride, one character and one snack in each park) so we only had room for a couple of the Halloween Party treats by the time it started. (I’m surprised we had any room at all!)

I love the giant iced sugar cookies that are always available in the DisneyWorld bakeries, and I’ve been surprised that they don’t do more Halloween-themed versions… so, today’s recipe is my attempt to rectify that!

While I made this sugar cookie recipe vanilla-almond flavoured, you could choose to add actual candy corn flavour, or maybe even crush up some candy corn and mix it into the batter.

These Mickey Mouse Candy Corn Sugar Cookies would be a super fun classroom treat or an option for a Halloween party.

Since they freeze well, I’m just slowly doling them out as special desserts or lunch box treats!

Tip: While Shop Disney sometimes has these cookie cutters in stock, they run out – often! I’ve found that Etsy is a more reliable source to buy your own Mickey Cookie Cutter!

Cut out your Mickey head shapes, re-rolling out the dough as needed, and place onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 8-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown at the edges.

Let cookies cool completely.

Mix until the colors are blended and the shades you want

Scoop about 1/4 C of icing into their own bags

Add 2-4 tsp of water into the remaining icing bowls and mix until combined

Pour the icing’s into squeeze bottles

Using the edible marker, draw out the lines on all cookies and the bows on some cookies.

Using the white piping bag, outline the bows and the part for the white on the cookies

Using the orange piping bag, pipe out the lines for the orange part on the cookies

Using the yellow piping bag, pipe out the lines for the yellow part of the cookies
