  • Once dough has formed, place dough onto a lightly floured cutting board
  • Cut the dough into 4 parts
  • Take 1/4 of the dough and add green food coloring and mix till combined
  • Take another 1/4 part of the dough and add red food coloring and mix till combined
  • You should still have two 1/4 parts
  • Place a sheet of parchment paper onto the cutting board
  • Place the red dough onto the parchment paper, sprinkle some flour around it and place another sheet over it
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to 1-inch thick rectangle
  • Cut the edges to clean up the rectangle
  • Repeat steps with a plain dough
  • Carefully lift the plain rectangle dough and place it on top of the red dough
  • Using the parchment paper to help, roll the dough into a log

  • Roll one of the half logs into a smaller log for the ears
  • Fold edges of parchment paper and place cookie logs onto a cookie sheet
  • Repeat steps with the green and other plain dough
  • Individually wrap logs with plastic wrap and in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or for as long as overnight
  • When dough is chilled preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the cookie dough logs into 2-inch circles
  • Place a big circle and two small circles onto the cookie sheet in the shape of Mickey's head. A few drops of water may be needed to help hold the dough together. Gently pinch the ears to the head
  • Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden brown
  • Once cookies are baked, pick which ones you want to be Minnie and which ones you want to be Mickey
  • Using the cookie icing, add a small dollop onto the back of the icing bow and place in the middle of the big circle in between the ears
  • Repeat steps with all Minnie cookies
  • Using the cookie icing, pipe on a small dot onto the back of the holly sprinkles and place into the top right corner. Tweezers may help with placing holly sprinkles and bows.
