Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Sugar Cookies

Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

¾ cup butter, softened
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
12 large marshmallows
3 cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup water
½ cup chocolate chips
1 drop red food coloring, or as desired
1 drop yellow food coloring, or as desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat white sugar, baking powder, and salt into butter until just combined. Beat egg, milk, and vanilla extract into butter-sugar mixture; add flour and mix until dough is just combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until dough is slightly chilled, about 10 minutes.
  • Scoop dough into balls slightly larger than golf balls; flatten into cookies. Arrange cookies on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 10 to 20 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
  • Butter a microwave-safe plate. Place marshmallows on the prepared plate.
  • Microwave marshmallows until slightly puffed, 10 to 15 seconds. Gently press marshmallows until bottoms slightly ooze.
  • Whisk confectioners' sugar and water together in a bowl until icing is slightly thicker than drizzle-consistency. Pour icing over cookies so it runs over the edges, reserving about 1 tablespoon.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl, about 30 seconds. Pour melted chocolate into a piping bag with a small tip or a plastic bag with a corner snipped.
  • Press 1 marshmallow close to an edge of each cookie to be the snowman's head. Draw 'stick arms' onto the icing using the melted chocolate.
  • Divide the reserved 1 tablespoon icing into 2 small bowls. Mix red food coloring into 1 of the bowls and orange food coloring into the other bowl. Decorate the snowmen with scarves or ties using the red icing and yellow icing.

Provided by Elizabeth

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Sugar Cookies

Time 3h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 egg whites
8 cups confectioners' sugar, or as needed
¼ cup lemon juice, or as needed
24 sugar cookies
24 large marshmallows
1 (.75 ounce) tube black decorating gel
1 (.75 ounce) tube orange decorating gel
75 silver nonpareils, or as desired
1 (.75 ounce) tube red decorating gel
1 (.75 ounce) tube green decorating gel

Steps:

  • Beat egg whites lightly in a large bowl using an electric mixer until frothy. Slowly beat enough confectioners' sugar into egg whites to make icing that will hold shape; blend in lemon juice until desired consistency is reached.
  • Arrange cookies about 1-inch apart on a large sheet of waxed paper. Spread icing onto each cookie, allowing icing to drip over edges to look like melting snow.
  • Grease a microwave-safe plate. Place 1 marshmallow onto plate.
  • Microwave marshmallow until it starts to puff up, 20 to 30 seconds. Immediately place marshmallow on the edge of 1 cookie while the icing is still wet to look like a melted snowman. Repeat with remaining marshmallows and iced cookies.
  • Decorate 'melted snowmen' by piping 'twig-like arms' using black decorating gel on the icing. Make 'coal eyes' and a 'mouth' on the marshmallow using black decorating gel. Make a 'carrot nose' under the 'coal eyes' using orange decorating gel. Make 'coat buttons' by arranging silver nonpareils down the middle of the icing. Make 'scarves' or 'bow-ties' using red decorating gel or green decorating gel.
  • Allow cookies to fully dry before removing from waxed paper, at least 1 hour.

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

About 8 ounces vanilla candy melting wafers
12 round peanut butter cookies (or sugar cookies)
4 marshmallows, cut crosswise into thirds
24 mini chocolate chips
12 orange sprinkles
6 mini peanut butter cups, halved and trimmed to look like brimmed hats
Assorted other sprinkles for decorating, if desired

Steps:

  • Melt the candy melting wafers according to the package directions. Spoon some of the melted candy on top of a cookie and spread it so it covers most of the cookie but has an irregular border. Place a slice of marshmallow toward the top edge and spoon some more melted candy on top, smoothing it to fully cover the marshmallow and blend it into the candy on the cookie.
  • Decorate the face of the snowman with mini chocolate chips for eyes and an orange sprinkle as a carrot nose. Place a peanut butter cup half on top of the snowman's head like a hat. Use other sprinkles to add a mouth or buttons if desired. Repeat with the remaining candy, cookies and decorations (rewarming the candy melts if necessary). Let the cookies set, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies to hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking these cookies is 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and the centers will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will take too long to bake and they will be dry.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

These melting snowmen cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can create beautiful and delicious cookies that will be the hit of your next party.
