- Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, remove to cooling rack to cool completely.
- To make the frosting-
- In the bowl of an electric mixer mix butter until light and fluffy. Add in powdered sugar a little at a time mixing between each addition. Add in cream and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
- Using a piping bag pipe frosting in strips across the cookies creating “mummy wrappings” use a small dot of frosting on each eye sprinkle to secure them to the cookie. Continue until all cookies are decorated.
