Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Arrange the cookies on the baking sheet, 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until done.
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.
4
Cut the Reese’s Cups in half.
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.
6
Work in batches of 3 for the next steps, unless you have help.
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.
8
Gently place a half Reese’s Mini Cup at the top center of each cookie for the hat.
9
Now arrange 2 mini chocolate chips (point side down) under the hat for the eyeballs.
10
Gently drop an orange sprinkle slightly under and between the eyes for the nose.
11
Arrange 2 Mini M&Ms under that for the buttons.
12
Allow the icing to set completely for 20-30 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Dough Before Decorating ❄️Refrigerate baked cookies for 10-15 minutes before adding decorations so the powdered sugar icing sets properly and candies adhere without sliding off.
- Perfect Powdered Sugar Consistency 🍦Mix powdered sugar with just enough milk to create a thick but spreadable paste—too watery and it won't hold decorations, too thick and it won't smooth evenly.
- Strategic Candy Placement 🎨Press M&Ms and Reese's Cups into the icing while still wet for secure bonding, placing heavier candies lower on the snowman body to prevent top-heavy toppling.
- Orange Sprinkle Application 🧡Apply orange sprinkles immediately after placing the candy nose while icing is tacky, then gently press them in place for a carrot-nose effect that won't fall off.
- Room Temperature Serving 🌡️Serve these cookies at room temperature rather than chilled so the chocolate chips and Reese's Cups have that perfect melting quality that gives these cookies their signature name.
