We made sugar cookies that look like melting snowmen. I stumbled upon this idea on Pinterest a few months ago and just got around to had the opportunity to make them. These were some of the easiest cookies that I have decorated in a long time and they came out pretty darn cute. Here is a simple run down of how we made them...
First make the dough, cute out cookies using a circular shaped cookie cutter (mine had a scalloped edge) bake and let the cookies cool before frosting them.
After I made the frosting I put it in squeeze bottles so Ms M (3 years old) could decorate her own cookies with me. Remember these are MELTING snowmen so the frosting is supposed to look messy like it is melting. As soon as the frosting is spread over the cookie I had Ms M put a marshmallow on top of it for the snowman head/face.
We let the frosting and marshmallow dry for a bit and then decorated with more frosting for the eyes, nose, scarf, arms and buttons.
Oh that is too cute! I love them! What a fun idea for the kids. I'm sure any child would have a blast making these. :)
