Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat until well combined.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until well combined. The dough will be a bit crumbly.
-
To make the shaped cookies, press half of the dough into a large disk on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin and firm pressure, press/roll the dough into a layer about ¼ inch thick. Cut out desired number of shapes using a number 2 shaped cookie cutter and a small Mickey shaped cookie cutter.
-
Place cut cookies onto prepared baking sheets and coat. Flip some of the number 2 shaped cookies so that the glitter side will be on the outside when sandwiched. Coat each cookie with edible glitter using a small pastry brush.
-
To make the round cookies, roll a spoonful of dough into a small ball and place onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space for the dough to expand. Repeat until dough is gone.
-
Place the edible glitter onto a small plate. Dip the base of a flat bottom glass into the glitter and then press it down onto a dough ball to flatten. Repeat until all balls are flattened.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until the top of the cookie is firm. Cool cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
