Ingredients to make Melting Snowman Marshmallow Cookie

• Unsalted Butter | Butter adds a creamy richness to your bakes ensuring a soft and chewy cookie. Use room temperature butter so it’s easier to cream together with the sugar.

  Caster Sugar & Light Brown Sugar | Caster Sugar will give the cookies sweetness and structure, whisk the light brown sugar adds a lovely caramel note which pairs really well with the chocolate and peanut butter flavour.

  Large Egg | use the best-quality eggs you can find and make sure they are at room temperature. Eggs provide these cookies with structure and richness.

  Vanilla extract | added to the cookie mixture to compliment the flavours

  Plain flour | sift your flour into the mixture for best results and to avoid lumps

  Baking powder | helps give the cookie great texture and crumb

  White chocolate chips | use good quality white chocolate for ultimate flavour.

  For the Decorations

  Large Marshmallow | For the snowman head

  Reece Peanut Butter Pieces | make the perfect snowman hat

  Pretzel Sticks | these make great arms as they look just like twigs

  Sprinkles | If you don't have sprinkles then use melted chocolate or icing pens for the eyes, carrot nose and buttons

Alternative Flavour Variations

We use White Chocolate in this recipe to keep close to the snowman theme but it pairs really well with lots of different flavours so if you want to jazz up this recipe with some additional ingredients without compromising on the appearance and theme, then see below some suggestions that you could try.

• Coconut | For a festive tropical twist try adding 100g of desiccated coconut in with the flour

• Lemon | Lemon pairs wonderfully with white chocolate so why no add a fresh zest of lemon to the sugar and mix this through for a fruity delicious alternative.

• Peanut Butter | Go nutty and pair the white chocolate with peanut butter by adding a x of smooth peanut butter and creaming it together with the butter and sugar.

Expert baking tips!

• GIFT IDEA: You could gift the cookies in a cellophane bag and wrap up the decoration ingredients separately so people can make their own melted snowman cookies.

Ingredients

• 150 g butter
• 125 g caster sugar
• 125 g soft brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 150 g plain flour
• 150 g self-raising flour
• 300 g white chocolate chips
• 24 large white marshmallows
• 12 Reese Buttercup Mini
• 12 Pretzel Sticks
• Black and Orange sprinkles or icing pens

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
2. Cream the butter and two sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy, then add the egg and vanilla extract and combine.
3. In another bowl, combine the two flours, then add half to the butter and sugar mixture and mix it through. Add the remaining flour and combine it all together, then add 200g of the white chocolate chips and fold them all through with a wooden spoon.
4. Using an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop balls of the dough on the lined baking trays, leaving enough space around each for them to expand when cooking.
5. To get the marshmallow centres, create a cavity with your thumb in the centre of each cookie dough ball and place the large white marshmallow into it. Fold the cookie dough over the marshmallow and reshape the dough into a ball.
6. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until just golden brown then remove from the oven and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.

To decorate

1. Melt the remaining 100g white chocolate then add a teaspoon on top of the cookies and spread it out a little so it looks like a puddle
2. For the snowman head, add a a large marshmallow to the back of the cookie then top with more white chocolate to coat it.
3. For the arms, snap a pretzel stick in half then lay the pieces on top of the melted chocolate puddle in front of the snowman head
4. Finish by adding the eyes, carrot and buttons using the sprinkles or icing pens. Allow the chocolate to set a little before serving.

Notes

Decoration Note | White chocolate has a tendency to set up fast, so you'll want to add on the hat, eyes, and nose as quickly as possible. Decorate one cookie at a time instead of adding decorations in batches.

Storing these Cookies | These cookies will keep well for up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container. Alternatively you can bake them and freeze them in freezer safe bags ahead of decorating. 

Freezing the cookies | If you want to store unbaked cookie dough. Let the cookie balls set hard in the fridge first before putting into freezer bags and storing in the freezer. Freeze for up to 6 months.
