This Melting Snowman Cookies Recipe is a fun way to celebrate winter (or the end of winter) whether or not you have snow on the ground! Fun to decorate!
We have gotten almost no snow here in Minnesota this winter (I am NOT complaining!), but that doesn’t mean that we can’t still make snowman themed treats!
The thing I like about this Melting Snowman Cookies Recipe is that it isn’t just a “Christmas thing”, but can be enjoyed all winter long. And if you really love them and want to stretch it out, I guess you could even make them for a “Christmas in July” party!
Since they do call for the Reese’s Peanut Butter Bells, which are only available at Christmas, you might want to scour the discounted candy right after the 25th so you can stock up to make this Melting Snowman Cookies recipe for the rest of the winter – AND to score a deal!
These cookies are super easy to make because you start with a bagged cookie mix. The fun part is the decorating!
Of course, if you want a more homemade cookie, feel free to start with your own favorite cookie recipe as the base.
You can use any flavor of cookie, but we like the chocolate because first – well it’s CHOCOLATE! and secondly because it makes a nice contrast with the white of the melted snowman.
This recipe is a fun one for the kids to get involved. Even little tots can help add the eyes, nose and hats to your melty creations!
