A soft, chewy sugar cookie cake decorated with white chocolate mummy bandages. This easy-to-make treat is perfect for Halloween parties and features a tender center with slightly crisp edges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 ½ cups White Chocolate Chips or Melts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just incorporated; do not overmix.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, aiming for a uniform ½-inch thickness.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until edges are lightly golden but the center still looks soft.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then release the springform ring. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Melt the white chocolate chips or melts in 30-second intervals in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth.
  10. Transfer melted chocolate to a small ziploc bag with a corner cut off. Pipe horizontal strips across the cooled cookie cake to resemble mummy bandages.
  11. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the fridge for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure butter is softened but not melted to prevent spreading. Do not overmix the dough to maintain a tender texture. Underbake slightly for a soft center, as it will firm up while cooling. Cool completely before decorating to prevent the chocolate from melting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
