Description

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 egg
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 4 Tbsp melted butter
• 2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tsp McCormick pure vanilla extract
• 6 tsp milk (or enough to thin frosting for spreading, add a little at a time)
• jumbo marshmallows
• Food Markers or decorating gel frosting

Directions

• Mix powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, almond extract and egg in large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients except granulated sugar. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
• Heat oven to 375ºF. Lightly grease cookie sheet or use silpat mat/parchment paper.
• Roll into 1.5 balls and roll in granulated sugar to coat.
• Place on cookie sheet and bake 7 to 8 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.
• To make frosting mix together melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. You may add or reduce milk to reach the proper consistency so the icing spreads over the cookie and drips over the sides to give the melting appearance.
• Spread icing over cookie and top with a marshmallow for the head. Push marshmallow into icing to secure it.
• Frost all cookies and add marshmallow. Allow to harden and set before decorating.
• Once frosting has set you can decorate the snowman using either food markers or decorative gel icing. These melting snowman cookies were made with food markers to draw on the snowmans face on the marshmallow and add in arms, buttons and a bow tie. Get creative and use whatever you wish to use!
