Source: Hershey
Ingredients
2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup HERSHEY'S MINI CHIPS Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 to 2 packages (12 oz. each) HERSHEY'S Premium White
Chips
1 to 2 tablespoons shortening (do not use butter,
margarine, spread or oil)
Additional HERSHEY'S MINI CHIPS Semi-Sweet Chocolate
Chips
Directions
1. Beat butter, sugar and vanilla in large bowl until
creamy. Add eggs; beat well. Combine flour, cocoa,
baking soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture,
beating well. Stir in 1 cup small chocolate chips.
Refrigerate dough 20 minutes or until firm enough to
handle.
2. Heat oven to 350 F. For mummy body, roll 1 tablespoon
dough into 3-1/2 inch long carrot shape; place on
ungreased cookie sheet. For head, roll 1 teaspoon dough,
roll into ball the size of a grape; press onto wide end
of body. Repeat procedure with remaining dough.
3. Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until set. Cool slightly;
remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
4. Microwave 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) white chips and 1
tablespoon shortening in microwave-safe pie plate or
shallow bowl at HIGH (100%) 1 minute; stir until chips
are melted.
5. Place 1 cookie at a time on table knife or narrow
metal spatula. Spoon white chip mixture over just the
top of cookie to coat; place on wax paper. (If mixture
begins to thicken, return to microwave for a few
seconds.) Melt additional chips with shortening, if
needed for additional coating. As coating begins to set
on cookies, use toothpick to score lines in body and on
face to resemble mummy . Place two small chocolate chips
on each for eyes. Store, covered, in cool dry place.
About 30 cookies.
