SNOWMAN SUGAR COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Sift the flour into a medium bowl. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Decrease the speed to low, add the flour and mix to incorporate. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and increase the speed to medium for 30 seconds. Chill the dough for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch thick. Cut the dough with a snowman cookie cutter and place on the prepared sheet pan (about 24 cookies). Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely, then serve the cookies as-is, or frost the cookies and then serve.

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.

Steps:
- Empty 1 bag white candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and continue to microwave in 15- to 30-second intervals until candy is almost completely melted. Let sit for about 1 minute and stir until smooth. Set the second bag of white candy melts aside.
- Dunk a cookie in the white melted candy. Use a fork to turn it over to ensure it's completely coated on all sides. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place 2 sprinkles in the middle for eyes. Place 1 half of a Tic Tac® under the eyes for a nose. Place 4 more sprinkles in a semi circle on the bottom for the mouth. Repeat for remaining cookies, melting the second bag of white candy melt as needed.
- Place the baking sheet in a cool, dry area for about 25 minutes so candy coating can harden. Do not place in the freezer or the snowmen will sweat.
- Melt the red candy melts as in step 2.
- Cut any excess chocolate off around each cookie. Dip the top part of each cookie in the red melted candy to make a hat and add an M&M® for a design. Place on a new parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to harden, about 25 minutes. Cut off any excess chocolate before serving.

Tips:
- Use cold butter. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and airy.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the cookies from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will toughen the cookies.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating. This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
These snowman Christmas cookies are a fun and festive way to celebrate the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With a little creativity, you can create snowmen that are unique and special. So get in the kitchen and start baking!
