Melting Snowman Sugar Cookies
 
Ingredients
  • Cookie:
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 2½ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Frosting:
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
  1. Mix powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and egg in a large mixing bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients.
  2. Wrap tightly in saran wrap and place in fridge for 2-24 hours to chill.
  3. Once chilled, remove from fridge and roll out into a ½ inch thick on a lightly floured surface (I use powdered sugar instead of flour)
  4. Cut into a circle shape with a 2½ inch circle.
  5. Roll out slightly larger to accommodate the marshmallow.
  6. Bake at 375 degrees for about 7 minutes.
  7. Cool on a rack.
  8. For the icing:
  9. Mix all ingredients and test consistently. Add slightly more milk for a thinner texture or more powdered sugar for a runny icing. The consistency should be thick enough to coat a spoon but thin enough to spread on a cookie.
