Christmas Mickey Sugar Cookies
Inside: These Christmas Mickey Sugar Cookies combine two of our favorite things, Christmas and Disney!
We love bringing some Disney into our Christmas traditions (though I haven’t been brave enough to face the parks at Christmastime) like with our Mickey & Minnie Christmas Donuts or re-watching Very Merry Christmas Sing-Along for the umpteenth time. M&Ms are also always a staple – so these Mickey Sugar cookies seemed like a perfect addition to our Christmas baking!
Christmas Mickey Sugar Cookies
We used a slightly unusual recipe for our Christmas sugar cookies so that we could skip the refrigeration step and get to baking and eating them sooner!
My daughter loved rolling the balls of dough in the sprinkles and laying out the M&Ms into Mickey head shapes – but I didn’t let her press the M&Ms into the just-baked cookies as the cookies were really hot and there is also a risk that she might accidentally touch the hot cookie sheet. Letting her lay out the M&Ms let her feel like it was still her design without putting her at risk for a burn.
These cookies would be perfect for bringing to a cookie exchange or giving to fellow Disney-lovers at the holidays. They are so quick and easy to make that I think we’ll make them again on Christmas Eve to leave out for Santa! (I have a feeling he likes Mickey, too!)
You could also adapt this recipe for just about anytime of the year! Valentine’s Mickey cookies with red M&Ms and pink sprinkles? St Patrick’s with green M&Ms and green and yellow sprinkles? Easter with special limited edition pastel M&Ms? A special birthday featuring the traditional red, black and yellow? Halloween, Thanksgiving, baby showers… you really can do so many different versions of this simple cookie recipe.
