Melted Snowman Cookies

Easy sugar cookies get turned into the cutest snowman cookies. Use our favorite sugar cookie icing to make these super simple. There's no need to be perfect as you frost because each snowman melts differently!  

Freezing uncut dough

After mixing, divide the dough evenly and shape each half into a flat disk about an inch thick. Wrap the dough pieces with a few layers of plastic wrap, and put them in a gallon zip top freezer bag. Lay flat to freeze. Thaw unwrapped at room temperature for 30 minutes on a lightly floured surface.

Freezing dough cutouts

After cutting your shapes, place them in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes or until firm. In an airtight container, create layers of the cutouts, separating each layer with parchment paper. To thaw, transfer frozen cutouts to a baking sheet and let sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

Freezing decorated cookies

The cookies can be frozen after they are completely baked and decorated using the same method that you would use to freeze the cutouts. Be sure to add all of the decorations at once so that the frosting doesn't harden before they're all set.
