(melted) Snowman cookies
Snowman cooking in the making.
I needed white icing for the cookies, had none, and too late to go out...so I made icing. The only other homemade icing I've ever made was brown sugar icing.
This icing was so easy! I may never buy it again!
You’ll need:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 – 3 Tbsp. milk
In a bowl beat butter with an electric mixer at medium to high speed until creamy. Gradually beat in sugar until smooth. Beat in vanilla and 2 Tbsp. milk, adding additional milk, if necessary, for desired consistency.

Here is the post I used: http://www.somewhatsimple.com/melted-snowman-cookies/
•1 package Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix
•10 large marshmallows
•Betty Crocker Cookie Icing (white and orange)
•Wilton Decorating Icing Tubes in Black, Red, Green, Blue and Pink (or the above recipe for simple white icing)
Here’s what I did:
•Mix cookie mix according to directions, or prepare your favorite cut out sugar cookie recipe, then just grab a golf ball sized chunk and squish it down until it’s about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Do not worry about the shape or how lumpy it is, the more misshapen the better! Bake according to recipe directions.
•Once the cookies are cool, load them up with the cookie icing and spread it around with the back of a spoon, let some dribble over the edge for a “puddle” look.
•Spray a microwave safe plate with cooking spray, and place marshmallows on the plate. Set the microwave for 30 seconds, but watch the marshmallows as they cook. Stop the microwave as soon as the marshmallows start to get puffy, do not let them double in size.
•Spray your fingers with cooking spray or grease them up with shortening, and carefully pull the marshmallows off, by the base, and set them on top of the frosted cookies.
•Then just decorate as you’d like with the Wilton frosting, or your own homemade frosting! I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy the Betty Crocker cookie icing was!
