How to Make Simply Adorable Melting Snowman Cookies

MELTING SNOWMAN COOKIES

One of the great things about making these cookies is that this is a kid-friendly recipe and the kids can get as creative as they’d like.

Teaching your kids at an early age to bake is not only a great way to create memories with them; it’s also a fun way to teach them about math, science, patience, and telling time.

If you are looking for additional kid-friendly holiday recipes, I have a few that I think you might enjoy. Like for example, my Snowflake Cookies. This Dunkaroo Dip is another easy recipe that your kids can help make. Another family favorite recipe is my Reindeer Chow. This is definitely a recipe that the kids can help make.

Before you get started on this recipe, here are a few tips and suggestions.

DO I HAVE TO USE THE WHITE COOKIE ICING OR CAN I MAKE MY OWN?

That is totally up to you. If you have a white royal icing recipe that you prefer to use, that is totally fine.

WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO MEASURE FLOUR ACCURATELY?

I am so glad you asked! So many times recipes fail due to the flour being measured incorrectly.

The proper way to measure out flour is to scoop the flour into the measuring cup by spoonful’s and then level it off with a knife. If you just dip the measuring cup into the flour and dump it into your recipe, your actual measurement will be wrong.

WHAT INGRDIENTS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE THIS HOLIDAY COOKIE RECIPE?

  • All-purpose flour – many cookie recipes require this particular ingredient
  • Baking powder – this ingredient is used to insure your recipe rises
  • Salt – this enhances the flavor of the recipe
  • Unsalted butter – it is so very important to use UNSALTED when baking
  • Sugar – of course all sugar cookies need sugar
  • Egg – a key binding ingredient
  • Milk – to thin the frosting
  • Marshmallows – these must be large for the snowmen
  • Decorating frosting – for the frosting
  • Icing – to resemble the melted snow
  • Chocolate chips – for the buttons of course
