How to Make Mickey Mouse Cookies
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Using a standing mixer, cream butter and sugar until creamed together and combined. Beat in egg, vanilla, and almond extract.
In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder and use a whisk and mix to combined. Split the dough in half.
Using 1 half of the dough, mix red food coloring into the cookie dough and mix until combined. Repeat step with the other dough using the green food coloring.
Roll out the red dough out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle shape about ½ inch thick. Using the circle cookie cutter, cut the out 10 circles.
Using 5 circles, take the mini mickey cookie cutter, and cut out a mickey head. Repeat steps with the green cookie dough. Place cookie onto the cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Using two bowls, split the frosting into each bowl. Add some red food dye into one bowl and green into the other and mix until combined. Scoop the red frosting into one piping bag and the green frosting into the second piping bag.
Once cookies have been baked and cooled, take a solid red cookie and a mickey head red cookie and pipe green frosting onto the solid cookie. Smooth the frosting out with a butter knife and place the mickey head cookie on top.
Repeat steps with remaining cookies. Enjoy!
