Share
Ingredients
- 80g unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 200g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- salt
To decorate
- 1 cup icing sugar
- icing pens
- cachous (red)
- lollies (small)
- liquorice
- 20 white marshmallows
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line two trays with baking paper.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together in an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and beat well.
3. Fold in the vanilla, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix into a dough, shape into a disc and then wrap in plastic and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
4. Roll out and cut into circles using a cookie cutter. Transfer onto a baking tray and bake for 10mins or until golden.
5. While you wait for the cookies to cool completely, slice up liquorice strips into arms, scarves tiny dots for eyes or triangles for bow ties.
6. Make up a basic white icing by adding a tiny bit of boiling water to the icing sugar and stir, then add more water until you reach the desired consistency (fairly thick).
7. Decorate the marshmallows with eyes, noses, mouths etc. You can use an icing pen here or use the icing as glue for cachous or liquorice.
8. To decorate the cookies, spoon on a little white icing and spread over the surface of your cookie, then press the marshmallow down in the middle.
9. Add any other embellishments to complete your snowman!
