In a standing mixer, combine butter, powder sugar, egg and vanilla and mix on medium speed until combined and fluffy
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and cream of tarter.
Gradually add in the flour to the wet mixture and mix on low speed until combined
Once dough has formed, place dough onto a lightly floured cutting board
Cut the dough into 4 parts
Take 1/4 of the dough and add green food coloring and mix till combined
Take another 1/4 part of the dough and add red food coloring and mix till combined
You should still have two 1/4 parts
Place a sheet of parchment paper onto the cutting board
Place the red dough onto the parchment paper, sprinkle some flour around it and place another sheet over it
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to 1 inch thick rectangle
Cut the edges to clean up the rectangle
Repeat steps with a plain dough
Carefully lift the plain rectangle dough and place it on top of the red dough
Using the parchment paper to help, roll the dough into a log

Roll 1 of the half logs into a smaller log for the ears
Fold edges of parchment paper and place cookie logs onto a cookie sheet
Repeat steps with the green and other plain dough
Place cookie sheet into the fridge for over night
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Using a sharp knife, cut the cookie dough logs into 2 inch circles
Place a big circle and two small circles onto the cookie sheet in the shape of Mickey’s head
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden brown
Once cookies are baked, pick which ones you want to be Minnie and Which ones you want to be Mickey
Using the cookie icing, add a small dollop onto the back of the icing bow and place in the middle of the big circle in between the ears
Repeat steps with all Minnie cookies
