So Easy to Make!
To create the iconic Disney cookies, you’ll need to combine two essential mixtures: a flour and baking powder blend, and a butter, sugar, and egg mixture. Once combined, refrigerate the dough for about an hour to allow the fats to firm up and prevent excessive spreading during baking, resulting in crisp, defined shapes like Mickey Mouse. You can find various Disney-themed cookie cutters online.After baking and cooling the cookies, you can prepare the Funfetti Dunkaroo dip. Start by creaming together butter and cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add icing sugar and vanilla extract, stirring well. Mix in milk as needed to achieve a consistency perfect for dipping your Mickey Mouse sugar cookies. The result is a tasty treat reminiscent of the popular Dunkaroo snacks.This cake batter dip, also known as Funfetti Dunkaroo, is an excellent accompaniment for Valentine’s Day or any special occasion. It pairs beautifully with a variety of sweet and crunchy treats, such as graham crackers, pretzels, animal crackers, teddy grahams, Nilla wafers, apple wedges, or your preferred cookies.
What Kind of Sprinkles to Use for Sugar Cookies
When you’re ready to take your Disney sugar cookie game to the next level, it’s time to get creative with sprinkles! While nonpareils were my go-to choice for this recipe, there are plenty of other options out there. From jimmies (also known as rainbow sprinkles) to quins, dragees, and coarse sugar, each type has its own unique characteristics that can elevate your baked goods. The key is knowing which ones work best for the job.For instance, jimmies offer a fun, rod-shaped sprinkle that resists bleeding in baked goods, making them perfect for adding color to cakes and cookies. Quins, on the other hand, are wide and flat, but they can be a bit too delicate for baking, as they tend to melt and spread out of control. Dragees or sugar pearls are great for garnishing cupcakes and the like, while coarse sugar is ideal for decorating cookies and cakes with its sparkly texture.When it comes to Mickey Mouse sugar cookies, I highly recommend sticking with nonpareils or jimmies. These sprinkles will add a wonderful crunch and flavor to both the cookies and cream cheese dip, making them a match made in heaven! The key is finding the right balance of color, texture, and flavor to make your treats truly special.

Instructions
Combining the dry ingredients, in a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder, setting it aside for now. In a separate mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream butter and sugar until they’re light and fluffy. Next, add an egg to the mixture and mix well. Gradually pour in the dry mixture, combining it with the creamed ingredients, then refrigerate for 45 minutes to an hour. Once chilled, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Cut out desired shapes using cookie cutters, and place them on two prepared baking sheets, either greased or lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges turn golden. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely. As you wait for the cookies to cool, prepare the icing by beating together butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and mix well. Finally, add vanilla extract and milk in one-tablespoon increments until the desired consistency is achieved.
