Thanks Anna DeLong for sharing this recipe. These are just too cute!
Snowman Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
1 Eggland's Best Egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Miniature semisweet chocolate chips and green and red M&M's Minis
FROSTING
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon coconut extract
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Red and/or green food coloring
Miniature milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
In a large bowl, cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extracts. In another bowl, whisk flour and baking powder; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
Preheat oven to 325°. Shape dough into thirty 1-in. balls, thirty 3/4-in. balls and thirty 1/2-in. balls. On ungreased baking sheets, place one ball of each size, side by side, for each snowman.
Bake 18-20 minutes or until light brown. Remove from oven; immediately add chocolate chips for eyes and M&M's for buttons. Remove carefully from pans to wire racks; cool completely.
For frosting, in a small bowl, beat confectioners' sugar, extract and enough milk to reach a piping consistency. If two colors of frosting are desired, transfer half of the frosting to another bowl; tint with food coloring.
Cut a small hole in a corner of a food-safe plastic bag; fill with frosting. Pipe scarves on snowmen. Use frosting to attach chocolate kisses for hats.
Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
