I'm MELTING.....snowman cutouts

I decided tonight that we didn't have enough cookies (haha - yeah right!), so I wanted to make up these cute guys!  Actually - I wanted to give Martha Stewart a run for her money!!  How awesome are these cookies - they were super tasty, pretty easy to make, AND they are super cute and I got LOTS of comments on them at our "early Christmas party" :)


Ingredients:
Frosted White Sugar Cookies OR if you need a faster alternative - 1 package Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix
10 large marshmallows
I batch of frosting Frosted White Sugar Cookies

Mix up your cookie dough recipe -  then just grab a golf ball sized chunk and squish it down until it's about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Do not worry about the shape or how lumpy it is, the more misshapen the better! Bake according to recipe directions.

Once the cookies are cool, load them up with the cookie icing and spread it around with the back of a spoon, let some dribble over the edge for a "puddle" look.

Spray a microwave safe plate with cooking spray, and place marshmallows on the plate. Set the microwave for 30 seconds, but watch the marshmallows as they cook. Stop the microwave as soon as the marshmallows start to get puffy, do not let them double in size.  Spray your fingers with cooking spray or grease them up with shortening, and carefully pull the marshmallows off, by the base, and set them on top of the frosted cookies.

Then just decorate as you'd like :)
