HOLIDAY COOKIES

today the kids and i made some melting snowman cookies for our neighbors.

i started with a glass plate from the $1 store and scrapbooking  ”stickers” from michael’s

i hot glued the scrapbook stickers to the plate

i bought betty crocker sugar cookie mix, added my egg and stick of butter and let the kids make cookies.

the cookies should NOT be perfect circles for this cookie, so i sat back and relaxed as the kids made the cookies

i let them bake according to recipe directions (approx 7 minutes)

next i melted some white icing (i use premade from the grocery store) and poured it into a squeeze bottle (you can pipe it from a bag as well)  about 30 seconds in the microwave

1. i outlined the cookies with icing
2. i melted the icing more by putting it back in the microwave for another 15 seconds
3. i filled in the outline with more icing and let it fill in the empty space.  the outline kept it inside the lines

4.  i took marshmallows and placed them on a plate and microwaved them for 30 seconds until they puffed

5.  i gently picked up a marshmallow and placed 1 on each cookie (i used a knife to help lift from the plate and put a spritz of cookie spay on my finger tips to keep it from sticking to me)

last i added a face, buttons, scarf and “stick” arms
