🧾 Ingredients
📌 Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full ingredients list with quantities and step-by-step instructions!
- Double Stuf Oreos (regular Oreos won’t hold the ears as well)
- Chocolate melting wafers (like Ghirardelli or Wilton)
- Red candy melts

- Toothpicks
- Wax paper
- Baking sheet
- Two small saucepans (for melting)
Tip: Buy extra Oreos—you’ll probably want to snack while making these.
🔪 How to Make Mickey Mouse Cookies
These come together in just a few steps, and once you get the hang of it, it moves fast!
- Twist open the Oreos gently so the cream stays on one side. Lay them on a wax-paper-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the chocolate wafers using a double boiler method (place a small saucepan over a pot of simmering water).
- Dip the edge of a chocolate wafer in the melted chocolate and press it gently into the cream side of the Oreo to form an ear. Repeat with a second wafer to make both ears.
- Let the chocolate set a few minutes so the ears don’t fall off when you move the cookie.
- Melt the red candy melts the same way.
- Dip the bottom half of each cookie into the red candy to give Mickey his signature red shorts.
- Place two yellow M&Ms on the red part of the cookie for the buttons. Do this quickly before the candy sets!
- Let the cookies cool completely. You can speed things up by popping them in the fridge for about 15–20 minutes.
And that’s it! You’ve got the cutest Mickey Mouse Cookies ever!
⭐ Pro Tips ⭐
- Be gentle when twisting the Oreos open—some will break, and that’s okay (more for snacking!).
- Don’t overheat the candy melts or they’ll seize. Low and slow is best.
- Use a toothpick to help spread the melted chocolate or candy if it starts to set too fast.
📖 Variations
Use mini Oreos and mini wafers for a bite-size version.
Swap the red candy melts for blue or green to make themed Mickeys for holidays.
Try white chocolate for a snowy winter Mickey.
