Melted Snowman Cookies are a fun and festive treat perfect for the holiday season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar (for icing)
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (for icing)
  • Various candies (mini chocolate chips, orange candy slices, and pretzel sticks for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla and almond extracts, mixing until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; that’s okay as they will continue to set while cooling.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk until you achieve a smooth, thick icing. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
  10. Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the icing over the cookies to create a “melting snow” effect. Use mini chocolate chips for eyes, orange candy slices for noses, and pretzel sticks for arms to complete the snowman design.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
  • Feel free to use your favorite candies for decoration.
  • Adjust baking time for desired cookie texture.
