melted snowman cookie

Ingredients

  • Servings: 12
  • :
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • decorations:
  • 12 large marshmallows
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 drop red food coloring, or as desired
  • 1 drop yellow food coloring, or as desired

Recipe

    Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 55 mins

  • 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' 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.
