Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help keep the cookies from spreading too much in the oven, resulting in a more defined snowman shape.
  • Chill the cookie dough before baking: Chilling the cookie dough will help it hold its shape better in the oven and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to shape the dough: A cookie scoop will help you get evenly sized cookies, which will bake more evenly.
  • Be careful not to over-bake the cookies: The cookies are done when they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before decorating, so the frosting doesn't melt.

Conclusion:

These Wanna Build a Snowman cookies are a fun and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. They're easy to make and can be decorated to look like your favorite snowman character. Whether you're making them with your kids or just for yourself, these cookies are sure to bring a smile to your face.
