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.

- Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help the dough to hold its shape better when you cut out the cookies.
- Use a sharp cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. This will help to create clean, even edges.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature and for the right amount of time. This will help to ensure that the cookies are cooked through but not overbaked.
- Be creative with your decorations. You can use a variety of edible decorations to create snowmen cookies that are unique and festive.
Conclusion:
Snowmen cookies are a fun and festive way to celebrate the winter season. They are also a great way to get creative with your baking. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can create snowmen cookies that are sure to impress your friends and family.
