Provided by Michelle

Categories     Snack

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Nutter Butter cookies
White candy melts (vanilla flavored)
M&M candies
Orange Tic-Tacs (cut in half)
Black decorator icing

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper; set aside.
  • In a small to medium bowl, melt the white candy melts according to the package instructions.
  • Working one at a time, dip a Nutter Butter cookie into the melted coating and flip it over to coat completely (a fork is great for this). Remove and let any excess drip off then place on the wax paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining Nutter Butter cookies. Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so the coating can set.
  • Attach a small decorating tip (I used a #2) to a pastry bag and fill with black icing (I just used Wilton decorating icing to make it easy). Dab a small amount on one side of an M&M and place on the coated cookie. Repeat with another just below to make the two "buttons".
  • Dab another small amount on the bottom of half of a Tic Tac and affix to the center of the top of the cookie for the nose. Again, repeat.
  • Now squeeze out small dots for the eyes and the mouth. Ta-Da! Snowmen!

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter is easier to work with and will help the cookies hold their shape better.
  • Chill the dough before rolling and cutting: This will also help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter: This will help you get clean, precise cuts.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown: This will help prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before icing: This will help the icing set properly.
  • Use a variety of sprinkles and decorations to make your snowmen unique: The more creative you are, the more festive your cookies will be!
