MELTING PEEPS® SNOWMEN COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Make cookie dough as directed on pouch. Using hands, shape dough into 24 (1 1/2-inch) balls; place 2 inches apart on 2 ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 9 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

MELTING SNOWMEN COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir together cookie mix, butter and egg until soft dough forms.
• Roll half the dough into walnut-size balls, and then flatten slightly on a parchment-lined or ungreased cookie sheet. Roll remaining dough into marble-size balls, and place on cookie sheet; do not flatten these.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown. Cool about 5 minutes or until cookies are firm enough to be transferred to cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting.
• In large microwavable bowl, microwave candy coating at 30-second intervals until it can be stirred smooth. Cover work surface with waxed or parchment paper.
• Place a dot of melted coating on bottom of a small cookie and place it toward one edge of a larger cookie. Spoon coating over entire cookie, allowing some to spill over edge of bottom cookie.
• Place two black confetti pieces on small cookie for eyes, and an orange candy sprinkle in center for a carrot nose. Place three black confetti sprinkle "buttons" on the bottom cookie. Alternatively, you can decorate one large cookie in the same manner, to represent a completely melted snowman.
• Use the cookie icing to draw on arms. Sprinkle with snowflakes; allow to dry completely.
• Store cookies in airtight container.
