The idea was everyone to cook something and sell it, and then to donate the collected money. I loved it, so I gave it a thought and decided that something Christmassy would be best for the season. Also, individual cookies sell more easily, so I tried one recipe for cookies, but made two different types of decorations \u2013 these cute Melted Snowman Cookies and these adorable Rudolph biscuits. I saw the idea for melted snowman cookies a few years ago in Pinterest and I wanted to make them ever since. I don&#8217;t know who had the idea initially, but it&#8217;s great! Snowmen look spectacular and are very easy to prepare so you don\u2019t need to be a master confectioner. I used a universal recipe for sugar cookies, which is very quick, and the dough is suitable for cutting out shapes with cookie cutters. If you have your own favourite recipe, you can use it and just decorate the same way. Happy baking!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Melted-Snowman-Sugar-Cookies.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5183 size-full\" title=\"melted snowman sugar cookies\" src=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Melted-Snowman-Sugar-Cookies.png\" alt=\"melted snowman sugar cookies\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Melted-Snowman-Sugar-Cookies-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Melted-Snowman-Sugar-Cookies-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Melted-Snowman-Sugar-Cookies-450x300.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Melted-Snowman-Sugar-Cookies.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Ingredients for Melted Snowman Cookies (make 28 big cookies):<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">360 g plain flour<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">250\u00a0g butter, softened<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">225 g sugar<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">1 egg<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00bd tsp vanilla<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00bd tsp salt<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00bc tsp soda<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Ingredients for the Melted Snowman decoration:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Royal Icing<\/li>\n<li>Marshmallows<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"Black edible marker\" href=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/refer\/edible-markers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Black edible marker<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li>Colourful\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"chocolate beans\" href=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/refer\/chocolate-beans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">chocolate beans<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">A few colours <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"writing icing\" href=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/refer\/glitter-writing-gels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">writing icing<\/a><\/span> &#8211; it&#8217;s good to have a black one for drawing the eyes and smiles, and a few colourful ones for scarves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- Start GADSWPV-3.9 --><div id=\"ga_os_10859895\" style=\"text-align: center; overflow: visible; visibility: visible;\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n     apntag.anq.push(function() {\r\n        apntag.showTag('ga_os_10859895');\r\n        });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br><!-- End GADSWPV-3.9 --><p><a href=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Melted-Snowmen-Cookies.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5184 size-full\" title=\"melted snowman cookies\" src=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Melted-Snowmen-Cookies.png\" alt=\"melted snowman cookies\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Melted-Snowmen-Cookies-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Melted-Snowmen-Cookies-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Melted-Snowmen-Cookies-450x300.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Melted-Snowmen-Cookies.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Ad 3 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8204055174938380\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2323002750\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Melted Snowman Cookies Preparation:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a bowl mix the softened butter and the sugar.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">In another bowl sift all dry ingredients and gradually start adding them to the butter mixture.
