Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix (1 pound 1.5 ounces)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 12 ounces white candy melts
- Black sugar pearls or black candy confetti for eyes and buttons
- Orange candy-coated sunflower seeds or orange jimmies for noses
- White sparkling sugar
- Various festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix, softened butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough by rolling about two-thirds into walnut-sized balls for the snowman bodies and flatten slightly. Roll the remaining dough into marble-sized balls for the snowman heads.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until the edges are barely golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Bring 1-2 inches of water to a simmer in a small pot. Place the white candy melts in a heatproof bowl over the pot and stir until smooth.
- Place waxed or parchment paper under the cooling rack to catch drips during decorating.
- Use a dot of melted candy coating on the bottom of each small cookie and adhere it to one side of a larger cookie. Spoon more melted candy coating over the entire snowman.
- Place two black sugar pearls on the smaller cookie for eyes and one orange candy-coated sunflower seed for a nose. Add three black sugar pearls on the larger cookie as buttons.
- Allow the decorated snowmen to dry completely before storing in an airtight container.
