Sugar cookies from the bakery make these adorable cookies quick and easy. This kid-friendly holiday craft will complete a festive cookie box.
Ingredients
- 5 large marshmallows
- 2 pieces pull-apart red licorice
- 1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
- 3 tbsp low-fat milk
- 10 bakery sugar cookies
- Mini candy-coated chocolate pieces, as needed
- Mini peanut butter cups, unwrapped, as needed
- 1 tube black decorating gel
- 10 orange sprinkles
Steps
- Cut each marshmallow in half. Pull apart licorice into individual pieces. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, 2–3 tbsp milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Spread the icing on top of each cookie in the shape of a puddle. Working quickly (before icing sets), top each cookie with a marshmallow half. Add candy-coated chocolate pieces to icing for buttons. Wrap a red licorice piece around marshmallow to resemble a scarf.
- If desired, use a little icing to secure a mini peanut butter cup to the top of each marshmallow for a hat. Use the black decorating gel for eyes and sprinkles for a nose, securing with icing if needed. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
