We have 10 days to go until our trip to Disneyland and with this in mind, I wanted to share a tutorial on the blog for Minnie Mouse Oreo Cookies.
This really is a fun and easy activity which you can make for or with the kids and I hope you enjoy reading this post. Sylvia is really looking forward to seeing Minnie Mouse and this week we are off to find some Mickey or Minnie ears for our trip.

🌈 Substitutions and Variations
- Flavor Twist: Incorporate a teaspoon of almond extract into your white chocolate for a delightful flavor variation.
- Color Play: Use pastel-colored candy melts, such as pink or lavender, to create a softer, whimsical look for the cookies.
- Texture Contrast: Add a sprinkle of crushed nuts or toffee bits to the melted chocolate before dipping the Oreos for an extra crunch.
🔪How to Make These Mickey Mouse Oreo Cookies
Gently tear apart the Oreos so that you have one half clean of filling and the filling is on the other half.
Take one of the chocolate buttons and place the bottom edge of the button on either side of the Oreo.
Pour the red candy melts into a microwave container and melt as per the instructions on the packaging.
Using a toothpick or chopstick dip the stick into the red candy melts and then drop some of the candy melt onto the edge of the chocolate button to create a glue.
Place the cookies back together and the chocolate should hold the Oreo back in place.
Dip the cookies half way into the red candy melt and then place on the wax paper,
Set the Oreos to one side to cool and harden. Once the red chocolate covering has hardened add in a few white wafers to another pot and microwave until melted.
Once melted, scoop the white chocolate into a zip lock bag, cut a tiny tip from the corner or the bag and pipe white chocolate as a line along the edge of the red chocolate.
Next, add white polka dots. Now all you need to do is take the icing bow, add a few dots of chocolate to make glue and place the bow on the cookie as shown below.
Let the white chocolate harden in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
Enjoy
👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Gently separate Double Stuf Oreos, keeping the filling on one half. Attach Mini Oreo cookies to the filling side of the larger Oreo using melted white chocolate to form Minnie’s ears.
- Dip the assembled cookies halfway into melted red candy melts and let them set. Once hardened, pipe white chocolate along the red border and add white polka dots for a classic Minnie look.
- Use royal icing bows or make your own with fondant, then secure them to the top of each cookie with a dab of melted white chocolate.
💭 FAQs
Double-stuffed Oreos give a fuller look, but regular ones work just fine!
Check baking aisles or online; they're perfect for creating Minnie’s ears.
Stir in a teaspoon of vegetable oil to achieve a smoother consistency.
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
💖 Serving Suggestions
These are my favorite treats to serve with Minnie Mouse Oreo Cookies:
- Mini Fruit Kabobs: Skewer colorful fruits like strawberries, grapes, and pineapple for a fun and healthy side.
- Pink Lemonade Floats: Combine pink lemonade with vanilla ice cream for a refreshing and creamy beverage.
- Chocolate-Dipped Pretzels: Offer pretzel rods dipped in white or dark chocolate, sprinkled with colorful nonpareils for a sweet and salty snack.
