Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: varies
Ingredients
- sugar cookies (refrigerated dough or Food Lion Deli fresh sugar cookies)
- 1 package cookie icing in white, red, blue and green (or decorating icing)
- 1 tube black decorating gel
- mini rainbow chips or mini M&Ms
- 12 - 15 marshmallows
Here's how to make it:
- If using refrigerated cookie dough, bake cookies according to package directions. Cool.
- On cooled cookies, use the white icing to create the snow puddle. Use the back of a spoon to spread the icing out.
- Before the icing hardens, press a marshmallow to the top of one side of the cookie.
- Once the icing has set a little, use the black decorating gel to make the branch arms.
- Use mini rainbow chips to create two coal eyes and a carrot nose. Use a small dot of white icing to make them stick. Pipe a small dot for the mouth with the black decorating gel. Use decorating or cookie icing to create the scarves. Allow cookies to set completely before serving.
