Let’s make this simple snowman cookie!

  • Next, flood the simple snowman cookie.

  • Use a turkey lacer, boo boo stick. or toothpick to spread the icing evenly on the cookie and to pop any air bubbles. 
  • Let the cookie dry for a few hours before you add the scarf. 
Time for the scarf and face.

  • Add a scarf with thick royal icing consistency. You can use any color scarf you want for your simple snowman cookie. I like orange because I could use it on his scarf and nose without making another royal icing color. 

  • If you’d like to make your scarf look like the wrinkled fabric cut a small piece of parchment paper.
  • Wrinkle it and place it on the wet royal icing scarf.
  • Gently pat it into place.

  • Don’t press it hard because you can damage the white royal icing on the snowman.
  • Let the icing under the parchment paper dry completely before you remove it. 

  • Pipe an orange carrot nose on his cute little face. 

  • Add two black dots of royal icing for the eyes. 
Is the scarf dry yet?

  • Once the scarf is dry gently remove the parchment paper. It’s easy to remove but go slow and gently lif it off the snowman.
