Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 12 large marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk or water
  • as needed black icing pen
  • as needed orange icing pen
  • optional mini M&Ms or candy buttons

Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • electric mixer or spoon
  • baking tray
  • parchment paper
  • wire cooling rack
  • spoon or spatula
  • icing pens or piping bags

Method
 

  1. Cream the softened butter and sugar together in a large bowl until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until fully combined. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually combine the dry and wet ingredients to form a soft dough. Chill for 15 minutes if sticky.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment. Roll dough into balls, flatten slightly, and place on tray. Bake 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  3. Cool biscuits completely on a wire rack. Mix icing sugar with milk or water gradually until thick and smooth.
  4. Spoon icing over each biscuit and let it spread naturally. Place a marshmallow off-center while icing is still wet. For a melted look, microwave marshmallows for a few seconds first.
  5. Decorate each snowman: use black icing for eyes and buttons, orange icing for noses, and optional candies. Allow to set.

Notes

Let biscuits cool fully before icing. For glossy marshmallows, warm them slightly in the microwave. Use a toothpick for drawing precise snowman faces. Add edible glitter or white sprinkles for a festive sparkle. Great for edible gifts or cookie swap trays.
