Melted Snowman Biscuits

For someone as much of a perfectionist as I am, Iโ€™ll be the first to admit that I donโ€™t find baking with toddlers especially easy! So when it comes to recipes, Iโ€™m always on the lookout for something easy but fun, and these Melted Snowman biscuits tick both boxes.

If you are a user of Pinterest, then youโ€™ll know Iโ€™m not the first person to make these biscuits. Still, having struggled to find a recipe for Melted Snowman biscuits that comes in gramsย & not American cup measurements, I thought Iโ€™d share my own adaptation of the recipe for you to try with your very own wee festive baker!

They are a simple, sweet biscuit, or as our American readers may call them, a “sugar cookie”. Topped with a splodge of white icing and a little white marshmallow. Finished off with a bit of flair, in the way of an orange “carrot” nose and some little black eyes, mouths and buttons. You can, of course, get extra creative with different facial expressions; however, I like the simple one-dot, open-mouthed look on our snowman faces. I think it adds to the shocked look at the fact that they appear to be melting!

Course: Dessert, Snack
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

INGREDIENTS

For the Biscuits

For Decorating

  • 100 g Icing Sugar
  • 2-3 tsp Water
  • Mini Marshmallows
  • Orange & Black Piping Icing

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180ยฐc (160ยฐc for fan-assisted ovens or Gas Mark 3-4) and line a couple of baking sheets with grease-proof paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter/margarine and sugar together. Sift the flour in the flour and bring together to create a dough – you may need to use your hands.
  • Roll on a floured surface with a rolling pin, until around 0.5-1cm thickness & cut with a round cutter. Transfer your biscuits to your pre-lined tray.
  • Bake for around10 minutes until they are very lightly golden. Baking time will vary depending on the size of your biscuits. Transfer to a wire cooling rack & ensure they are completely cool before decorating.

Decorating The Biscuits

  • Mix the icing sugar with the water, gradually adding the water until the desired consistency. Not too runny and thick enough that it holds the melted-snow look.
  • Drizzle on your biscuits in a melted-snow fashion & pop a marshmallow on for your snowman's head. Decorate the snowmen as simple or elaborately as you like!

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All my recipes are developed using a digital scale and the metric system (grams and millilitres). Cup measurements are available as a conversion but these, unfortunately, won’t always be as accurate. For best results, I always recommend baking with a digital scale.
