    List of Ingredients




    2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
    1/2 cup cocoa
    1/4 tsp. baking soda
    1/2 tsp. salt
    2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
    1 cup sugar
    2 tsp. vanilla extract
    2 eggs
    1 lb. white chocolate
    1-1/2 Tbs. vegetable shortening
    2 Tbs. miniature chocolate chips

    Recipe



    Sift together first 4 ingredients in a bowl. Set aside. Combine butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until creamy. Add eggs and mix thoroughly. Gradually beat butter mixture into dry ingredients until blended. Cover bowl and refrigerate about 20 minutes or until slightly firm. Preheat oven to 350°F. Make mummy's bodies by rolling a heaping tablespoon of dough into the shape of about a 4 inch carrot. Arrange on an ungreased cookie sheet. Roll 1 teaspoon of dough into small balls and press onto the top of the mummy bodies. Bake about 9 minutes or until just set. Cool cookies slightly before transferring to a wire rack. Combine white chocolate and shortening in a microwaveable bowl. Cook on high in microwave about 1 minute or until mixture melts. Stir to mix thoroughly. Carefully place mummy on a narrow spatula or wide knife and spoon melted coating over cookie. Transfer to waxed paper and let cool. Repeat process with remaining cookies and coating, heating white chocolate mixture if it begins to harden. Using a dull knife, make score marks around body and head to simulate wrapped cloth. Press 2 miniature chocolate chips in the head for the eyes.
