Melted snowman cookies

I saw this idea somewhere, and I thought Miles would have fun doing it.  Lo, I was right.  It was really quite easy.

1.  Take your favorite sugar cookie dough (I confess we used store-bought for this quickie project) and roll it out.

2.  Use a cookie cutter or do like we did and use a drinking glass to cut out pretty big circles (maybe 3″ in diameter).

3.  Bake cookies as directed.  Cool completely.

4.  While the cookies are baking and cooling, work on the marshmallows.  Take as many big marshmallows as you have cookies and snip off part of one edge.  That will make it sit at an angle on the cookie and make it look like the snowman is looking down at his ruined body in horror.

5.  Decorate the marshmallows with decorator frosting, sprinkles, whatever you like.

6.  Take some white frosting and warm it up.  It took about 15 seconds in my microwave to get a nice liquidy (but not TOO liquidy) consistency.  Using a spoon, pour an irregular blob of frosting onto the cookie.  Place the marshmallow.

7.  Let it set for a few minutes, then add more decorations, like sprinkle buttons and stick arms.  If you have the time and patience, you could add even more things, like fallen tophats and scarves.

8.  Munch munch munch.
