A cute way to treasure the message from the guest to the LO on the 1st Birthday. 

Mickey Mouse Oreo Cookies

This item was also part of my LO's first birthday party. The little guests in the party thoroughly enjoyed eating them and loved the taste too.  

Ingredients

Oreo cookies - Regular size - 1 pack

Mini Oreo cookies - 1 pack

Wax paper

Red Chocolate Melts - 1 pack (we got it from Jo-Ann)

Dark Chocolate Melts - 1 pack(Also from Jo-Ann)

White circular sprinklers / White tube (From Michael's)

Procedure

Melt the Chocolate(Red and Dark Chocolate)

• For the melts, pour some of red chocolate melts into a bowl/cup, put them in the microwave for about 30 seconds. 
• Mix the melts frequently. 
• Once the consistency of the chocolate is attained, leave it aside. 

Caution: Do not over heat the chocolate melts, because if you overheat, they may end up becoming powder. 

•   Repeat the same procedure for Dark chocolate melts as well. 

Make the cookies

• Dip the regular sized Oreo cookie into chocolate melt until half way. 
• Place it on a wax sheet spread over a tray, undisturbed. 
• Repeat this procedure for all the regular sized Oreo cookies that you want. 
• Put the tray in the refrigerator for few minutes(3 - 5 minutes approx. ), to let the chocolate dry. 
• Remove the cookies from the refrigerator and mark lines over the top of the cookie to place the mini Oreo cookies over it(resembling ears of the cookie)
• Dip a small edge of the mini Oreo into the Dark chocolate melt, and place it over the regular one, touching its surface like the one in the picture. 
• Repeat for the other end too. 
• Now, repeat the same procedure for the rest of the cookies. 
• Place them in the refrigerator for it to solidify for about 3- 5 minutes. 
• Remove the cookies from the refrigerator and place two white circular sprinkles/ white gelatin to represent the buttons over the red melt.
