This was one of my most popular posts last year...in the spirit of
the season and regifting I thought I would post it again for all of you
who didn't catch it the first time around.
These are too cute to not make...I first saw them on Pinterest and had to try them.
If you are not much of a baker you could by the Pillsbury sugar dough in the roll and just slice them-and they will be circles ready to go...or you can buy sugar cookie mixes and roll it out (don't have cutters? Use a glass!) OR you can try this recipe which makes a very sturdy sugar cookie. It made about 16 of the snowmen.
Sugar cookie dough
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
2 eggs
2 3/4 c. flour
2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt.
Cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla and eggs...mix well. Add flour, salt and baking soda. Roll out on a floured surface and cut into circles. Bake at 400 for about 8 minutes. Cool.
To decorate:
I bought a tube of black wilton brand gell at Walmart..but you could also use chocolate frosting in the decorator tubes.
For the white frosting I just used canned white frosting from the grocery store.
You will also need marshmallows-the large sized ones.
Frost cookies with the white frosting. Put 6 marshmallows on a plate that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Microwave for 12 seconds. Place marshmallows on cookies for snowman heads. Then pipe on faces, noses, and scarfs..
JUST TOO CUTE:)
