Prep Time: 1 Hour
Yields: 1 Dozen Cookies
Ingredients:
1 dozen sugar cookies
1 pouch Betty Crocker White Cookie Icing
1 pouch Betty Crocker Black Cookie Icing
1 box Betty Crocker Classic Colors Writing Icings
1 bottle Betty Crocker Rainbow Sprinkles
12 marshmallows
Instructions:
1. Ice cookies with White Cookie Icing. Allow icing to drip off sides to create melting effect.
2. Let cookies dry for 30 minutes.
3. While cookies are drying, cut about ¼ inch off the marshmallows to shorten the snowman’s head. Use Black Cookie Icing and Orange Sprinkles to make faces on the marshmallows.
4. Once White Cookie Icing has crusted over, adhere marshmallows carefully by adding a small amount of additional White Cookie Icing to bottom of marshmallow.
5. Add remaining decorations with Cookie and Writing Icings.
6. Cookies will be completely dry within 4 hours.
Notes: Use a homemade royal icing so it's white and not dirty looking. The recipe is a copycat recipe. Buttercream doesn't set like royal icing... I've been making these for years. Thin out your royal icing and it spreads nicely and looks like a puddle. While icing is still wet melt marshmallows in the microwave on a Pam sprayed plate for a few minutes and place on your cookies (don't cut your marshmallows, no need) Wait to dry and decorate with colored royal icing. This way you can package them... All homemade... And cheaper than buying icing. Just my own preference but I wouldn't put your cookies back in the oven to melt the marshmallow or icing so you don't over bake the cookie...
(or melted witches) Brings to mind the easy witch hat cookies I make when in a rush but need to bring something to a Halloween party. Take those already made chocolate striped butter cookies. Flip over to the chocolate side. Take a chocolate candy kiss and dip bottom in orange frosting enough to "glue on" the extra squeezes out to make a rim. Done. No bake...put on cookie trays and muss your hair up , put flour: on your face and suggest how hard you worked!
