Ingredients
- 3 stick unsalted butter
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. each ground allspice and cloves
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 4 c. all-purpose flour
- Decorating Icing (directions follow)
- You also need: 4-in. snowman cookie cutter with arms and legs, red, green and black paste food colors, fine white decorating (crystal) sugar (see Note), orange sprinkles (jimmies) and small ziptop bags
Instructions
- Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with mixer on low speed until fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla, spices and salt. On low speed, beat in flour until just blended.
- Gather dough together and divide in thirds. Shape each portion into a 1-in.-thick disk and wrap separately. Chill 1 hour or until firm.
- Heat oven to 375 °F. Have baking sheet(s) ready.
- On floured surface with floured rolling pin, roll out 1 disk at a time (keep rest refrigerated) to 1/4 in. thick. Using floured cookie cutter, cut out snowmen. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheet(s). Reroll and cut scraps once.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes until bottoms and edges are just brown. Cool on sheet on a wire rack 2 minutes before removing to rack to cool completely.
- To ice and decorate: For each color, put a small portion Decorating Icing into a cup. Stir in food color. Leave remaining icing white.
- Spoon some white icing into a ziptop bag. Cut tip off a corner; pipe outline on areas of snowman that will be white. To thin icing for coating: Add drops of water to white icing in bowl until thin enough to spread without dripping. Dip a brush into thinned white icing. Spread to piped border; sprinkle hands and feet with decorating sugar. Let dry 3 hours.
- Scrape colored icing into ziptop bags; pipe around hats and scarves. Thin remaining colored icing; fill in. Pipe buttons and eyes and insert orange sprinkles as noses. Let dry at least 6 hours before storing in a single layer. Decorating Icing: In a large bowl, with mixer on low speed, beat 1 lb confectioners' sugar (3 1/4 cups) and 3 Tbsp Just Whites (powdered egg whites, see Note) until combined. Add 6 Tbsp water; beat until blended. Increase mixer speed to high and beat 8 minutes or until icing is very thick.
