Melted Snowman Christmas Cookies

So, what do you think of our Melted Snowman Christmas Cookies!? We decided to go for something different and humorous this year. Only thing is that some people are saying these look macabre! I guess it does remind us a little of the Wizard of Oz and the “I’m melting. I’m melting”, scene of the Wicked Witch of the West.

These are simple sugar cookies, with a marshmallow and some art and well, I think they are quite dramatic for cookies.

If you want to try these out too, the recipe is below.

Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 large egg

1. Cream butter and sugar.
2. Add egg and vanilla.
3. Mix all dry ingredients and add slowly to butter cream mixture until incorporated.
4. Roll out on lightly floured board to desired thickness.
5. Cutout 2-1/2″ hearts and bake at 400 degrees for 7- 10 minutes.

Icing

Ingredients:

• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, stir together confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more corn syrup.
