These easy Minion cookies are completely no bake. Just dip vanilla sandwich cookies into melted candy coating and add candy eyeballs. Adorable and super fun to make!
We first made these easy Minion cookies over 10 years ago when the first Minion movie came out. So, we updated the post with new pictures of these cute cookie minions, just in time for the latest movie!
One thing that my kids and I truly enjoy doing together is decorating cookies and creating special treats. Since we always have so much fun with this at Christmas, we started making treats for other holidays and sometimes, just for the fun of it!
Why you’ll love this easy recipe
No baking! Just melt, dip and decorate.
It’s a fun and delicious project to make with the kids.
A fun treat for movie night or kids’ parties or game night!
What You Need
Here’s a quick overview of the ingredients to make cookie Minions. You will find full amounts in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. Be sure to watch the video!
- Vienna Fingers — or a similar oval sandwich cookie
- Candy melts — I usually find them in craft stores or online
- Chocolate chips — to make the mouths and outline the eyes
- Candy eyes — I find these in Walmart, Target or craft stores. You can find them online, as well
- Toothpick — for drawing the details using the melted chocolate
How to Make Minion Cookies
First, melt the yellow candy melts, and dip the cookies into the melted coating. When the coating is dry, melt the blue candy melts, and dip the bottom halves into the blue coating to form the clothes. Draw the overall straps with the toothpick. Glue the eyeballs onto the face with leftover coating, and use a toothpick to add facial features and goggles.
Quick Tips
Stir candy melts and chocolate very well after each microwave interval to avoid seizing.
Place the cookies into the fridge after dipping them in yellow coating to firm up faster.
Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to candy melts and chocolate to make the melted mixtures thinner and easier to work with.

My daughter absolutely loves all the minion movies, and these showed up on my instagram feed, so I had to make these for her. They were wonderful. I couldn’t do the detailing on the eyes and mouth as well as you could, but a hit nonetheless. Thanks!
I’m sure they turned out great, Jerry! 🙂
These are so so cute! Very easy to make too.
Thanks so much, Maya! They are super easy. 🙂
Can you tell me how many cookies the two bags of candy melts will complete. I’m looking to make these for VBS and will probably need about 60-80 cookies (2 for each child.) Thanks!
I need to update the recipe as it’s been awhile since we made these. I think we made about 10 cookies with the 2 packages of candy melts. You can buy the melts in larger sizes now, depending on what brand you get.
Thanks so much, Suzan! The kids had so much fun with these. 🙂
These are just the cutest things – how smart to use store bought cookies ( no oven in the summer is always a good thing ) I just love these !
Awww, thanks so much for letting me know. 🙂
