Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased large cookie sheets.
  • 2
    Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool on cookie sheets 2 minutes; remove to cooling rack to cool completely.
  • 3
    To make gumdrop snowman hats: With rolling pin or hands, roll large gumdrops 1/4 inch thick. Cut thin strip from bottom; press sticky cut side onto bottom of hat to make brim; set aside.
  • 4
    Using photo as a guide, pipe about 2 teaspoons cookie icing onto cookie to look like a “pool” of melted snow; sprinkle with about 1/8 teaspoon decorating sugar. Immediately add peanut butter cup half (cut-side down) or gumdrop hat, chocolate candy eyes, gumdrop nose and pretzel arms. Let stand until set, about 1 hour.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Substitute chocolate peanut butter bell-shaped candies, cut in half, for the peanut butter cups or gumdrops for hats. You can also use candy eyeballs instead of miniature M&M's® candies for the eyes. Experiment and pick your favorites!
  • tip 2
    Get the kids in the kitchen to help decorate these festive treats! Have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before decorating.
  • tip 3
    For best results, bake one cookie sheet at a time in the center of the oven.
  • tip 4
    Cookie icing sets up quickly; for best results, be sure to work in small batches.
  • tip 5
    Store cookies covered at room temperature up to 3 days .
