Snowman Cookies

I am buried deep in the January blues! It just feels like such a gloomy month with so little going on compared to the rush of the holidays and like it needs some bright spots in it. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got a long to do list for cleaning and organizing and what not, but it’s still so gloomy. So I booked a trip for myself to San Diego! But since that’s not until next week, for now, I spent some time with my littlest baking all day and making fun things. He had a blast making these Snowman Cookies with me. He even decorated his own, a “ninja” version!

So cute, so simple! Little hands can make these easily! And they can work all winter long.

Snowman Cookies Recipe:

You can use any sugar cookies to make these! Got a recipe you love? Use that. Or grab some at the store. Here is my favorite recipe if you need one:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 C butter
• 1 C sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 C milk
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp vanilla
• 2 C flour

Mix all of these ingredients, then chill the dough for at least one hour.

Roll out dough about 1/2 inch thick. Use a cup or circle cookie cutter to cut circles.

Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes or until edges are just barely starting to look brown.

Decorating the Cookies:

Supplies Needed:

• Cookies
• Frosting (grab some store bought or use a nice buttercream)
• Twizzlers Pull n’ Peel
• M&Ms
• Candy eyes (craft store or baking section of most grocery stores)
• Mini chocolate chips

Frost your cookies.

Cut a piece of the Twizzlers Pull n’ Peel so that it will reach about half way around your cookie. Place it and then add two M&Ms for the ear muffs.

Add eyes and an orange M&M nose.

Place mini chocolate chips upside down (so that the flat bottom is showing) to make a mouth.

And you’re done! It’s that easy!

Make it a Snowman Party!
