Ingredients

16 ounces - Sugar cookie dough
2 cups - Powdered sugar
Milk
12 - Mini Reese’s Cups
48 - Mini chocolate chips
24 - Orange sprinkles
48 - Mini M&Ms

Instructions

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