MELTED SNOWMAN PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt the candy melting wafers according to the package directions. Spoon some of the melted candy on top of a cookie and spread it so it covers most of the cookie but has an irregular border. Place a slice of marshmallow toward the top edge and spoon some more melted candy on top, smoothing it to fully cover the marshmallow and blend it into the candy on the cookie.
• Decorate the face of the snowman with mini chocolate chips for eyes and an orange sprinkle as a carrot nose. Place a peanut butter cup half on top of the snowman's head like a hat. Use other sprinkles to add a mouth or buttons if desired. Repeat with the remaining candy, cookies and decorations (rewarming the candy melts if necessary). Let the cookies set, about 10 minutes.

NO-BAKE COOKIE DOUGH SNOWMEN

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Microwave the flour in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Stir well, then microwave again until the temperature reaches 180 degrees F, about 1 minute more (see Cook's Note). Sift into a medium bowl, then whisk in the salt; set aside.
• Beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, yogurt and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until well incorporated. (If needed, turn off the mixer and use your hands to help combine.) Fold in 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula, or mix them in with your hands.
• Scoop fourteen 1-tablespoon portions of dough and roll into smooth balls; scoop fourteen 1-teaspoon portions of dough and repeat. Put the balls on the prepared baking sheet and freeze until chilled, about 20 minutes.
• To make the coating, microwave the melting wafers and 4 teaspoons of the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. (Alternatively, melt in a double boiler.)
• One at a time, drop the chilled balls into the coating and roll around with a fork to fully coat. Remove each ball with the fork, letting any excess coating drip off, and return to the baking sheet. Fill in any holes with extra coating.
• To make the hats, put the nonpareils on a work surface white-side up. Dip the narrow end of the chocolate caramels into the coating and place one on each nonpareil. Put the hats on the baking sheet with the balls and refrigerate until the coating is set, about 5 minutes.
• Trim any excess coating around the balls with a paring knife. To make heads, dip the flat part of the small balls in the coating and stack one on top of each large ball. To make noses, dip the flat end of the jelly bean pieces in the coating and press one into the center of each head. Dip the bottoms of the hats in the remaining coating and attach one to each head. Refrigerate until the coating is set, about 5 minutes.
• Tie a sour belt strip around the neck of each snowman. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips, 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil and the black food coloring in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. Transfer to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag and snip off the corner. Pipe 2 eyes on each head and 3 buttons down the front of each body. Refrigerate until completely set, about 10 minutes.

SNOWMAN CHRISTMAS COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter, cream cheese and 2 cups sugar until blended. Beat in egg and extracts. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Refrigerate, covered, at least 30 minutes or until firm enough to shape., Preheat oven to 325°. Place remaining sugar in a shallow bowl. For each cookie, shape dough to make one 1-in. ball, one 3/4-in. ball and one 1/2-in. ball; press together to form a snowman. Gently coat with sugar. Repeat with remaining dough. Place snowmen 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets., Break pretzel sticks in half; press into snowmen for arms. Bake 15-18 minutes or until bottoms are light brown., Cool on pans 1 minute. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Pipe icing on snowmen to form scarves, eyes, buttons and mouths. Use icing to attach gumdrops for noses.
