Melted Snowman Cookies Could these cookies be any cuter! Ingredients: • 5 tablespoons soft butter • 3/4 cup white sugar • 1 egg • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (you can also use almond) • 1-2/3 cups flour • 1 teaspoon baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon salt • White cookie icing • Large marshmallows • Black icing gel • Mini candies Directions: 1. In a large bowl, mix together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add in the egg, vanilla, flour and baking powder and salt until the mixture resembles coarse dough. Using your hands, form a disc and cover it with plastic wrap. Chill for at least an hour. 2. Once the dough has chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin. Cut out circles using a circle cookie cutter. Place each cookie onto a nonstick cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the pan and place on a wire cooling rack. Do not decorate until fully cooled. 3. Using the white cookie icing, create a melted outline (not filling the entire cookie) and fill in with the icing. Place a marshmallow on the top of each cookie on the icing so it sticks. Lightly press it down so it looks a little smashed. 4. To decorate, use your black icing gel to make two eyes, a mouth and arms. Make a nose with orange icing gel. Decorate the buttons by using small circular candies, colored icing or mini chocolate chips. Let dry completely and then enjoy! Recipe adapted from Truly Custom Cakery
