Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir together cookie mix, butter and egg until soft dough forms.
- Roll half the dough into walnut-size balls, and then flatten slightly on a parchment-lined or ungreased cookie sheet. Roll remaining dough into marble-size balls, and place on cookie sheet; do not flatten these.
- Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown. Cool about 5 minutes or until cookies are firm enough to be transferred to cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting.
- In large microwavable bowl, microwave candy coating at 30-second intervals until it can be stirred smooth. Cover work surface with waxed or parchment paper.
- Place a dot of melted coating on bottom of a small cookie and place it toward one edge of a larger cookie. Spoon coating over entire cookie, allowing some to spill over edge of bottom cookie.
- Place two black confetti pieces on small cookie for eyes, and an orange candy sprinkle in center for a carrot nose. Place three black confetti sprinkle "buttons" on the bottom cookie. Alternatively, you can decorate one large cookie in the same manner, to represent a completely melted snowman.
- Use the cookie icing to draw on arms. Sprinkle with snowflakes; allow to dry completely.
- Store cookies in airtight container.

Tips:
- Use a cookie scoop: This will help you get uniform-sized cookie balls.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will dry out the cookies and make them crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
- Use a variety of toppings: You can use different colors of sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or chopped nuts to decorate your cookies.
