Melting Snowman Cookies

December 7, 2014 by Mindi Cherry

Melting Snowman Cookies

My children are always asking me if they can help whenever I make cookies, but they tend to get bored quickly with just mixing up a cookie dough and scooping it on to the cookie sheets. Over the years, we have added quite a few recipes that they can and like to help me make!

Some of their favorites include:

  • Cherry Thumbprint Cookie Recipe – they love being able to help make these – although I have a problem making them wait until they cool before they shovel them in their mouth!
  • Chocolate Cherry Christmas Mice – one of the first recipes that required assembly that they helped with making…and they did a really good job!
  • Christmas S'Mores – all the taste of S'Mores without the campfire.
  • M&M's Cookie Recipe – they aren't much different than your standard chocolate chip cookie, but they seem to think these are cooler than those!
  • Oreo Truffles Recipe – their all-time favorite cookies to make. They are no-bake and they like helping with every stage of making them because……Oreos!

Anyway…..these Melting Snowman cookies are so easy to make, mainly because the key to making them look “perfect” is that you don't want them to look “perfect”.  When you are putting the white chocolate on top, you do NOT want it to come out in a perfect circle on top of the cookie!

To make them, you will need:

Melting Snowman Cookies Ingredients

  • 1 bag Dark Chocolate Cookie Mix (+ the ingredients to make the cookies) – or you can use your favorite homemade chocolate cookie recipe
  • 12 Reese's Peanut Butter Bells (or Reese's miniatures, if you can't find the bells)
  • 12 oz White Candy Melting Chips
  • 48 Mini Chocolate Chips
  • 2 Orange Starburst candies

First you want to mix up and bake the cookies according the package directions, making 24 cookies.

Melting Snowman Cookies process

Allow the cookies to cool

After your have turned the 2 Starburst candies in to 24 “noses” (see cutting directions below), you are going to melt the white chocolate and spoon a little over each cookie and add the decorations!

I would suggest just decorating 1 cookie at a time and set them up “assembly line”.  One you spoon the chocolate on to the cookie it is going to get cool pretty quickly and you need it to still be warm in order for the “hat, nose and eyes” to stick in the chocolate.  If the white chocolate in the bowl starts to cool down before you are done, just stick it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds!
