Snowmen Face Cookies

These cookies were too adorable to pass up making this year.  I found them while searching for cookie ideas for Thanksgiving dinner this past October.  Thank you Betty Crocker for the wonderful ideas your website has given me since I found it.

Here is the link to the cookies.

Instead of using the premade cookie dough mix from Betty Crocker I used my Dream cookie recipe.



The decorating assembly line.



Use premade vanilla icing as the base.



Add shoestring licorce as the headband for the ear muffs.



I used lifesavers for the ear muffs.  The first batch I made used the hard candy Lifesavers but people were saying they were too hard to bite into.  I went back to Walmart to see if they had the gummy Lifesavers and they did.  Next batch had the gummy Lifesavers and they were much easier to eat.

Brown M&Ms for the eyes.  I had to buy 4 bags of M&Ms to find enough brown M&Ms to make 3 dozen cookies.  By the end some of the snowmen had green and blue eyes which were very creepy.

I used a candy called Dots for the nose.  I happened across them at my local dollar store.

I used black gel icing for the mouth.

My Dad had a Christmas party on December 18th so I put together a cake board with cookies.  Here is a picture of the cookies that were on it.

After making all the snowmen cookies I had some dough leftover.  I made Christmas trees and candy canes.
