The Easiest Melted Snowman Cookies You Will Ever Make

1. If you're making your own sugar cookies, wait for them to cool. Use the cookie icing to make a “snow puddle” in the center of each cookie. You can make them as small or as large as you'd like. Even if the icing drips off of the cookie a bit, that's ok! It's a puddle, after all. I like to make the outline of the puddle first, and then fill it in (use a butter knife or small spatula to spread, or even just the tip of the icing bag).
2. While the icing is still wet, immediately place a large marshmallow into one side of the “snow puddle”.
3. Once the icing has set (about 30 minutes depending on how thick your puddles are), use your food markers to decorate your snowmen however you'd like! You can also use colored icing or decorating gel if you'd prefer. Keep in mind that the food coloring markers often times don't come with orange for the nose, so either use icing for that or blend a red and yellow marker together if you have them.

it's easy! Use a fork to mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 4tsps of milk. Customize the consistency by adding milk to make it thinner, or more powdered sugar to make it thicker. The reason cookie icing hardens is because it is low in fat, so do not add butter or use a heavy cream. Use a plastic sandwich bag with a hole cut in one corner to pipe the icing onto the cookies, or, with these cookies, you can just plop it on there with a spoon if you want. ***The store-bought Betty Crocker cookie icing is less transparent and blends in better with the marshmallows. I think it looks better than homemade.***
