<\/figure>\nThese cookies are perfect for a holiday cookie table or a kid’s classroom holiday party snack idea.<\/p>\n
Tips for melted snowman cookies:<\/h2>\n\n- If your icing piping skills aren’t great, try using food markers<\/a> to add your details instead! Just wait until the icing has set a few hours before writing on the cookies.<\/li>\n
- To make your marshmallow snowman head a little melty, try putting the marshmallows in the microwave for about 30 seconds until they puff up a little before pressing into your cookie.<\/li>\n
- If you are transporting your cookies to a party, it’s best to make them the day before and let the icing fully harden overnight if possible.<\/li>\n
- When mixing up your black icing, make it a little thicker than your white icing (just add a little more powdered sugar to it to thicken it) so that it will keep its shape and not spread out when you pipe it.<\/li>\n
- You can use regular food coloring, but we love gel food color<\/a> since it’s more concentrated and you’ll get a more intense color.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\nHow to make melted snowman cookies:<\/h2>\n
Bake cookies:<\/strong> Make your easy cookie dough, roll out your dough and cut out cookies, bake, and let your cookies cool.<\/p>\n\n![\"making](\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/melted-snowman-cookies-best-easy-christmas-cookie-1-12-683x1024.jpg\")

<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\nIce cookies:<\/strong> Mix together your icing ingredients until you reach the consistency you want. The mixture should flow in thick ribbons, but not be super runny. <\/p>\nUse a piping bag or ziplock to pipe the frosting into a snow puddle shape on the cooled cookies (or you can spoon it on and spread with back of the spoon). You want the icing to look a little messy since the snowman is melting so it’s OK if some goes over the edge.<\/p>\n\n![\"icing](\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/melted-snowman-cookies-best-easy-christmas-cookie-1-10-683x1024.jpg\")

<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\nDecorate cookies:<\/strong> While the icing is still wet, press in your marshmallow head near the side of your cookies and any snowman buttons you want to add. <\/p>\nAdd some icing to a small bowl and add black food coloring to a piping bag or ziplock bag and pipe on the eyes, mouth, and arms. Attach orange sprinkle nose with a small dab of icing (or make some orange icing to pipe it on). Use more candy to add scarfs, hats, or earmuffs for some extra details!<\/p>\n
