Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2
Arrange the cookies on the baking sheet, 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until done.
- Step 3
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely for 10 minutes.
- Step 4
Cut the Reese’s Cups in half.
- Step 5
Add the powdered sugar to a small bowl and gradually stir in the milk, until you have a thick icing. Too thin, and it will spread too much.
- Step 6
Work in batches of 3 for the next steps, unless you have help.
- Step 7
Add a small spoonful of icing to the center of each cookie, then gently spread out. It does not need to be a perfect circle because these are “melting” snowmen.
- Step 8
Gently place a half Reese’s Mini Cup at the top center of each cookie for the hat.
- Step 9
Now arrange 2 mini chocolate chips (point side down) under the hat for the eyeballs.
- Step 10
Gently drop an orange sprinkle slightly under and between the eyes for the nose.
- Step 11
Arrange 2 Mini M&Ms under that for the buttons.
- Step 12
Allow the icing to set completely for 20-30 minutes.
