Snowman Cookies

Today we made snowman Cookies.  We don't have enough snow on the ground to make a real snowman, so, why not bake some up?

Here's the recipe.  Not very healthy.  I'll have to work on a better recipe for next year.
1 1/2 cups butter softened (no substitutes)
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 eggs
3 teaspoons of vanilla extract
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 can (16ounces) vanilla frosting
decorations



Cream the butter and the sugar

Add egg and vanilla

You didn't see the vanilla shot because there was a little accident

Slowly mix in flour and baking powder

Shape dough into 1 inch, 5/8 inch and 1/4 inch balls

Place the balls 1/4 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets

Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned

Mine came out as chubby snowmen

Cool 1 minute before moving to wire racks

frost cool cookies

when the kids help, I think they eat more than they decorate :)

See you tomorrow!
