Thumbprint Snowman Cookies

Yule and cookies righteous go together, don't they? I certain consider so! Thumbprint cookies are one of my pick kinds of cookies.  I soul made them with jam, prefabricated them into whist, and I flatbottom made them into shamrocks with tinted lemon curd.

Dolabriform and attractive, that's my mantra.

This exposure is the snowmen cooky with bodies, which is a fun alternative. Simply put two balls of dough unitedly, pressure your thumbprint in the midpoint of each, and bake. I made half of the cookies this way, and half with heads exclusive.  It's up to you.

Alter apiece parcel with the ice, let it dry and then comes the fun component, cordate decorations to invoke them into snowmen.

They are decorated with royal manoeuvre for the spout, buttons and carrot look. I am gracious of affected. Wouldn't these lie festive on a cookie platter, or be fun to deal as gifts? I conceive they'd play a smile to anyone.
