You can't iron Minky, because it will melt. But, you can use a washable glue stick or Roxanne's Glue-baste-it. Maybe you could stitch it down with a basting stitch before you finish the raw edge?
I imagine there might be an embroidery machine design for Cookie Monster, but don't know if you have an embroidery machine. I don't have one, but I've seen some really cute things done with minky on an embroidery machine.

I make alot of my appliques using color book pages, I just enlarge them to the size that works for the current project. I have not appliqued with minky but alot of other "non-applique type fabrics" and have not had any trouble going around the edges after glueing or with laudering.
