Melting snowmen cookies
American 15 Mins Prep · 10 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Beat the butter, white sugar and vanilla extract in an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add the egg and beat well. Add the flours, salt and coconut and mix with a butter knife until a soft dough forms.
- Roughly chop the chocolate and add to the cookie dough.
- Using your hands or an ice cream scoop, mould 2 tablespoons of cookie mixture into a flat round. Place on the baking tray, leaving room to spread. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden. Allow to cool on trays.
- To make the royal icing, whisk together the icing sugar and water until smooth and spreadable. Spread the icing generously over each cookie.
- Place a marshmallow on one side of each cookie while the icing is still wet. Allow the icing to dry for 15–20 minutes. Use the black writing icing to dot on eyes, buttons and stick arms.
- Cut out small triangles from the dried apricots to make the carrot nose. Allow to set before serving.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
