snowman cookies

Hello all,  this is Kallee over at Creative Southern Home.   Winter is one of my favorite seasons to do a lot of baking, and over on my blog I have been sharing a lot of great recipes for some fun winter foods.  Hot buttered honey is divine poured over waffles, pancakes or biscuits.  Help the kids celebrate groundhog’s day with a sweet treat, and pizza pinwheels are perfect to serve while watching the Super Bowl.

With all this cold weather surrounding us, I thought it would be fun for the kids to make some snowman cookies.  I found a version of this at Taste of Home.  This recipe is simple and fun, plus the kids get to dress up a snowman, then eat it.  If you wanted to put a scarf on your snowman, a fruit roll up would be perfect to shape into a colorful scarf.  This dough is fabulous to work with and has a great flavor.  It must be refrigerated for at least 30 minutes, so remember that when you are planning to make these fun cookies.
