Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 sugar cookies (we used store-bought refrigerated cookie dough)
  • 12 marshmallows (regular size)
  • 3 oz egg whites (about 3 eggs worth)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • food coloring (in various colors. Brown/black, red, green, orange)

Instruction

  • Bake the sugar cookies, if needed, according to package instructions. Set aside 12 marshmallows for each cookie.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, whisk the egg whites until foamy. Add in the vanilla extract. Slowly, 1 cup at a time, add in the powdered sugar whisking on low.
  • Reserve 1/3 of the white royal icing for the snow layer. In separate bowls divide the frosting as needed and add the food coloring of choice. Start slow, mixing 1-2 drops of the food coloring into the different bowls until you reach the desired color intensity.
  • Once cookies have cooled, pipe the white icing in puddle shapes on the cookies using the #8 round tip. Stick the marshmallow towards one edge.
  • Use the #7 tip or smaller for the black (or brown) icing to make hands, eyes, mouth, and buttons.
  • Use the #3 tip to create an orange nose.
  • Use a small tip, like #3, to pipe the remaining icing colors around the marshmallow head to make scarves
