These Elmo cookies could very well be the cutest things I have ever made. I am so happy with them, and I put together this post together to show you how easy these Sesame Street cookies are to make. P-A-R-T-Y Time…

Let the party begin, but don’t forget to invite Elmo! Everybody just loves Elmo. These Elmo Elmo-decorated cookies are an easy cookie project that will shine at your Elmo Birthday Party or Sesame Street Birthday Party. 

This is a no-bake Elmo Decorated Cookies recipe. I know every mom in the world will rejoice when I tell you that these took less than 45 minutes to make. I put together about 30 cookies at my daughter’s school party. They were an absolute hit. I probably should have made more. See my step-by-step instructions below.

Why You Will Love These Elmo Cookies

• Crowd Pleaser – They are sweet, fun, and full of nostalgic charm, making them a hit at any gathering. With all these delightful qualities, it’s clear why you will absolutely love making—and eating—these adorable treats!
• Versatile – While it features the classic Oreo, you can easily substitute with other cookies, or adapt the colors and decorations to match different themes or characters. This means you can enjoy it again and again with new variations.
• Simple to Make – The simplicity of the recipe makes it incredibly appealing. With just a few ingredients and no baking required, you can whip up these adorable cookies in no time. It’s a stress-free way to create a tasty treat without the hassle of turning on the oven.

Ingredients Needed

Please note that a full list of ingredients and a printable version of this recipe is available below.

• Oreos and mini Oreos – You can’t make these cookies without them. I prefer to use the original Oreos. However, there are so many flavor combinations now, I will leave that choice up to you.
• Red Candy Melts, Candy Eyes, Red Sprinkle and Orange Tic Tacs – Make up the decorating portion of these Elmo cookies. You need the red candy melts as the base and then you can make up Elmo’s fur and face with the rest.
• Wax Paper – This is important. You need wax paper to keep your cookies from sticking to the countertop after coating them with the candy melts.

How to Make Elmo Cookies

STEP ONE: Gather your supplies and make sure you line your counter with a piece of wax paper. This is super important! It will make your cookies not stick and cleanup will be super easy!

STEP TWO: Next, open your mini Oreo. Using a knife, cut the cookies in half. Take your time with this step. If you rush it you may end up with crumbles instead of half cookies. These halves will end up being Elmo’s smile.

STEP THREE: In a plastic container, melt your candy melt. Melt them in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between. Don’t overcook them. Sometimes you have to let them sit for a minute before you get a good consistency (this isn’t like regular chocolate).

Step Four: Drop your Oreo cookie into the melted candy. Once completely coated, place on wax paper. As you can see in the above picture, your coverage doesn’t have to be perfect. Don’t worry at all.

STEP FIVE: Working FAST! Add two candy eyes, a Tic Tac nose, and half of the mini Oreo for his mouth.

STEP SIX: Generously coat cookies with red sprinkles. Then set aside to allow the candy melt chocolate to set and hard. Then shake off excess sprinkles.
