Melting Snowmen

In my foods class, I made a fantastic Christmas treat! It was a delicious melting snowman. The product was a sugar cookie with white frosting to seem like a snow and a marshmallow as the snowman head. This is an amazing dessert to celebrate the holidays and bring to gatherings.

The tools needed to make this delicious cookie are:

- a baking sheet

- kitchen aid mixer

- a cooling rack

- multiple piping bags.

The ingredients needed are:

- 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda

- 1/4 teaspoon Baking powder

- 1/2 cup Softened butter

- 1 1/4 cups White sugar

- 1 egg

-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

- 24 marshmallow

-1 container Vanilla frosting (betty crocker brand)

- 1 packet Food coloring (red, green, blue, orange, black)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Then set this bowl aside.

In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar until it's smooth. Then add the egg and vanilla and mix together.

After it is fully mixed, gradually add in the dry ingredients in the small bowl to the large bowl and mix together.

Roll the dough into balls and place them onto an ungreased baking pan.

Put the pan in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Let the cookies sit on the pan for two minutes then transfer to the cooling rack.

Take the vanilla frosting and put it into a piping bag. Once the cookies are cooled, pipe the white frosting onto the top of the cookies.

Once all the cookies are frosted and cooled, add a marshmallow to the back corner of the cookie.

Then, put the vanilla frosting into bowls and add the needed color of food color to it and mix. Once mixed and you have the needed color, add to a new piping bag.

Frost out the eyes, nose and mouth on the marshmallow and the scarf and hands onto the cookie with the piping bags.

Now your cookies are done and ready to eat or bring to a holiday gathering!

The cookies are delicious they have just the right crunch and softness. They are adorable and everyone will love them on a snowy night. They are very easy to decorate and for people who don't like marshmallows, they are easily able to take off when you are going to eat but they are delicious with them too. This are an amazing treat that I would make again and love to share.
