Okay... so if we are going to learn how to make a melted snowman cookie, you need cookie dough. You can use just about any Sugar Cookie Cut Out Recipe you choose. But I use one from AllRecipes.com that tastes really good, is soft, and is substantial.My thought is that if I'm going to go through all the trouble to hand form cookies and decorate in steps, I want a "COOKIE". Not some little tiny thing that is gone in one bite.
So... Here's the link Soft Sugar Cookies:
Make a batch and get it chilling in the fridge. The recipe says overnight BUT if you get the dough made in the morning, you can be doing a project with your kids after dinner that night. You need the dough to chill thoroughly so think at least 4 hours in the fridge.
While your dough is chilling in the fridge, start to assemble the ingredients for the next step. You'll need:
- Large Marshmallows
- Royal Icing (Choose a Recipe from All Recipes )
- Icing Colors (Food Color or Wilton Gel Colors of your choice. You can find the Wilton Colors at a Craft Store)
- Silver Dragees, Mini Chocolate Chips, or other little candy pieces you could use for buttons and accessories on your snowman.
(You can pipe these details in royal icing OR use accessories. For kids... accessories are easier)
- Parchment Paper - Shortening
