Description

Ingredients

• 1 package (16 oz) Pillsbury™ Ready To Bake!™ refrigerated sugar cookies
• 12 miniature creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
• 24 miniature chocolate-covered peanut butter cup candies, unwrapped
• 1 container (1 lb) vanilla creamy ready-to-spread frosting
• 12 large marshmallows
• 48 miniature chocolate chips (for eyes)
• 2 Dots™ orange gumdrop candies, cut into small carrot-shaped triangles (for noses)
• 1 pouch black cookie icing
• 24 (7 1/2-inch) pieces red string licorice, clipped on ends for fringes of each scarf

Directions

• 1 Heat oven to 350°F. On ungreased cookie sheet, place dough rounds 2 inches apart. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack to cool completely.
• 2 Meanwhile, to make hats, remove creme from sandwich cookies, and attach miniature peanut butter cup to one half of sandwich cookie, using small amount of vanilla frosting. Continue for remaining hats.
• 3 Cut marshmallows in half, and place one half on top of each cookie, cut side down. In small microwavable bowl, microwave remaining frosting uncovered on Medium (50%) 20 to 40 seconds, stirring halfway through, until slightly warm. Spoon frosting on top of marshmallow and cookie to look like melting snow; attach hat to top of each cookie. Attach miniature chocolate chips and orange gumdrop candy for eyes and nose. Allow to set 20 minutes.
• 4 Use black cookie icing to pipe arms on each snowman cookie. Wrap one piece of licorice around neck for scarf. Allow to set completely before serving, about 30 minutes.
