Melted Snowman Sugar Cookies!
These melted snowman sugar cookies are lots of fun for the family to make! They are also a great gift idea for family, friends, neighbours, doctors offices and anyone else you are thinking of during the holidays.
Steps:
1) Make gluten/dairy-free sugar cookies.
2) Prepare or buy pre-made vanilla and chocolate icing.
3) Once cookies have cooled spread vanilla icing, placing a large marshmallow near the back. Along with three button like circle sprinkles. (see picture)
4) Place a scoop of chocolate icing in a piping bag. Using a Wilton decorating tip #5 design two stick arms, eyes and a mouth. You can also use small ball sprinkles for the mouth if you wish, instead.
5) Place a couple drops of orange food dye (or yellow and red) into a small amount of vanilla icing. Add the orange icing to a piping bag and using Wilton #5 make a carrot nose, by slowly pulling the piping bag away and creating a point.
Enjoy!!
