Melted Snowman Sugar Cookies
Making these Melted Snowman Sugar Cookies are a fun way to enjoy holiday baking with family. Everyone will enjoy making their own cute and delicious snowman cookies. From-scratch sugar cookies and royal icing recipes are provided here but you can make a shortcut by using store-bought varieties, too.
Ingredients
- Sugar Cookies Recipes (homemade or store-bought), See notes for a link to sugar cookie recipe made from scratch
Royal Icing Recipe or store-bought cookie icing or glaze,
See notes for a link to royal icing made from scratch- 1 pack of large marshmallows, for decorating
- 1 pack Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups, for decorating
- Pretzel sticks, for decorating
- 1 pack of M&Ms, for decorating
- 1 tube black Decorating Gel
- Orange Sprinkle, for decorating
Instructions
- Bake the sugar cookies as directed in the recipe or in a storebought cookie mix. Cool down.
- Make the royal icing (if making it from scratch). Glaze the cookies by drawing a “snow puddle.” For convenience, you may draw the outline of the puddle first, then go back and fill in the shape.
- While the icing is still wet, place a marshmallow on one side of the cookie. That would serve as the snowman's head. Place one Reese's mini on top of the marshmallows to serve as hat. Use the icing as glue to hold the hat in place.
- To make the arms, cut stick pretzels into the desired length. Place on both sides of the cookie just under the marshmallows. Place some M&Ms chocolate candies (2-3 pieces) in the remaining snow puddle (they should look like buttons).
- Once the icing has set, draw eyes and mouth using black gel on each marshmallow. Use the orange sprinkle as the carrot nose.
- Allow cookies to set for at least one hour before serving.
