MELTING SNOWMAN SUGAR COOKIES

INGREDIENTS

• Cookie:
• 1½ cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup butter softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg
• 2½ cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• Frosting:
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• ½ cup milk
• ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3½ cups powdered sugar, sifted

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and egg in a large mixing bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients.
2. Wrap tightly in saran wrap and place in fridge for 2-24 hours to chill.
3. Once chilled, remove from fridge and roll out into a ½ inch thick on a lightly floured surface (I use powdered sugar instead of flour)
4. Cut into a circle shape with a 2½ inch circle.
5. Roll out slightly larger to accommodate the marshmallow.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for about 7 minutes.
7. Cool on a rack.
8. For the icing:
9. Mix all ingredients and test consistently. Add slightly more milk for a thinner texture or more powdered sugar for a runny icing. The consistency should be thick enough to coat a spoon but thin enough to spread on a cookie.
