INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Combine the softened butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Mix, then slowly add the dry mix into the wet, stirring as you pour. If you need to, use your hands to finish mixing the dough together.
- Separate the dough in half and place in bowls. Set 1 to the side, and in the other add the 1/3 cup of cocoa powder to make the chocolate dough. Knead the dough until the cocoa is fully mixed in.
- Roll all dough onto a well-floured surface.
- Use the Mickey cookie cutter to cut out your shapes. Use a pairing knife or a small circular cookie cutter to cut out the middle of the head and ears to make the donut shapes.
- Place on parchment paper then onto a baking sheet (or use a greased baking sheet). Bake for 6-8 minutes.
- Let your Mickey donut cookies cool while you make the icing. Combine 2 egg whites and the vanilla in a large bowl.
- Slowly start adding powdered sugar (about 1/2 cup at a time). If you start with egg whites, you can better manage the consistency of your icing. If it becomes too stiff, you can add a little bit of milk (1/2 tsp at a time) to make it smoother. Once you’ve arrived at a consistency you like, separate the icing into 3 equal parts.
- Dye 1 part with the red food coloring to make pink icing. Add 1 tbsp of cocoa powder to the second portion to make chocolate icing. Leave the third portion white.
- Spoon all 3 into their own sandwich bags. Cut a tiny corner off to create your own piping bag.
- Pipe on the donut frosting and add sprinkles. Let dry and serve.
Enjoy your Mickey donut cookies!
