Snowman Cookies Recipe
Start with the cookie basics - creaming together butter and sugar. Make sure the butter is soft and at room temperature. With sugar, brown sugar is the best choice in this recipe. Beat them together until they are pale and fluffy. The mixture needs to to smooth.
Next up, add egg and vanilla extract. The egg needs to be at room temperature. Give this a quick whizz just to combine the ingredients. Flour and baking soda go in next alongside a small pinch of salt.
Now that the basic cookie dough is ready, you can move onto melting white chocolate, sprinkling with grated coconut and finally the decoration. The dough needs to be refrigerated for about 30 minutes. Depending on whether you want to make big or small snowmen, divide the dough into equal portions. Divide each portion into 1 big and 1 small portions.
Roll them into rounds and bake. While baking, the cookies will spread and you will get thick chewy cookies perfect for making cute snowmen.
Once the snowman cookies are baked and cooled, dip one side in melted chocolate. You can also sprinkle them with grated coconut to resemble snow. The beautiful scarf is made with sour rainbows. I added three dark chocolate chips for the cute buttons and black writing icing is the secret to perfect eyes.
