Special Equipment:
Decorate the cookies:
Step 1
Fill a medium pot with 2 inches of water, place over medium heat, and bring to a simmer. Place dark chocolate in a heatproof metal or glass bowl and set over the pot (the simmering water should not touch the bottom of the bowl). Melt chocolate, stirring frequently, until almost completely melted. Remove bowl from heat, and stir until smooth.
Step 2
Using a small offset spatula or spoon, apply a thin layer of dark chocolate onto the rounded surface of the "tops" of half the cookies, reserving the remaining half of the cookies for the sandwich "bottoms." Reserve remaining dark chocolate for the mummy eyes. Set cookies aside to allow chocolate to set, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Repeat melting process with white chocolate. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a small tip with melted white chocolate. Drizzle thin horizontal stripes of white chocolate onto each chocolate-covered cookie, leaving a 1/4-inch gap in the center for the eyes. Add the whites of two eyes in the center of each cookie and allow to set, about 5 minutes. Using a toothpick, add two small dots of reserved melted dark chocolate to the eyes to make pupils. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Make the filling:
Step 4
Using an electric mixer, beat butter on medium-high until smooth and fluffy. Add the cream cheese and beat until well blended. Add the confectioner's sugar, vanilla extract, and a few drops food coloring. Mix on medium-low until well combined, adding additional food coloring, if desired.
Assemble the cookie sandwiches:
Step 5
Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of filling on the flat side of each reserved plain sugar cookie "bottom," then top with a decorated cookie.
No piping bag? No problem! Just fill a resealable plastic bag with the white chocolate and cut a very small hole in one corner for piping, or use spoon or wooden skewer to drizzle and decorate with the white chocolate.

Back to TopThe best way to drizzle chocolate is to put it in a parchment pastry bag (if you know how to make them - check the internet). As the chocolate cools put the bag in the microwave for a few seconds to resoften. I would also add a little butter to the chocolate during melting to make it easier to spread on the cookie

I made these cookies to take to a Halloween party and unfortunately they did not come along to the party with me. I cheated for the cookie part and bought Pillsbury sugar cookie dough. The method for melting the chocolate (in a bowl over boiling water) works well but I had to add some coconut oil to give it a more liquidy consistency so that it was easier to spread. The dark chocolate spread well and then I allowed the cookies to cool. I melted the white chocolate in the same way and added it to a pastry bag. But as soon as I did that the chocolate started to harden (as I had expected) and I wasn't able to drizzle it onto the cookies. I tried drizzling the white chocolate on with a fork and the stripes came out too thick. Because this was such a fail I didn't even bother making the filling and creating sandwich cookies. The cookies came out looking ridiculous but of course they taste delicious (sugar cookie covered in chocolate...why not?) I might make these in the future with just chocolate drizzle without going for the mummy look. Maybe I'm just challenged in the baking department...Give it a try if you are a pro with melted chocolate!
