Snowman Cookies!

It's snowing in Georgia!!

Well..maybe it's only snowing in my Snowman Cookies..hehe!

 We have been crafting over @ Grandma's house..that would be my house and yes I'm the Grandma!

We made snowflakes, hand print ornaments, foot print ornaments, baby Jesus in the manger crafts..etc. 

Thank you Pinterest!

It took a little longer and was a little messier this year as our family has been blessed with grandbaby #5.

She is beyond adorable and precious (of course), and after four and a half short months, we can not imagine life without her.

The tiny little cookie you see in the middle, I made just for our sweet little princess.

 Aren't they just the sweetest!

They certainly aren't the most perfect!

I have a confession. I can not pipe!

I seriously can not even pipe a straight line.

You can easily see how I had to scrape off the royal icing only to try, try again.

The good news is, they don't have to be perfect. Plus, I only used RI for my background. Sprinkles, fondant and candy easily cute these little cookies right on up.

And that..makes me Merry!

I decided to try Georganne's chocolate cut-out cookies recipe.

Yum! It was really hard not to eat all the cookie dough while I baked these babies up!

I used 4 1/2 x 3 inch cookie cutter from my Ateco rectangular cookie set for the large cookie and the 1 3/4 x 1 inch for the mini cookie.

 I mixed sky blue with a little electric blue for my royal icing.

I piped the outlines with full strength RI while adding water a few drops at a time to make 10 second RI to flood the cookies.

I used white, black and red fondant to make my snowmen.

 I used my snowman cookie cutter to cut out just the section I wanted on each cookie.

I also used it to cut out a black fondant hat.

I then turned the cutter upside down to cut a slight curve in the hat and top of snowman. I then fit these two pieces together.

I cut out a simple red fondant scarf and an orange Airheads nose.

I attached the fondant snowmen to the cookies as well as the sprinkles with corn syrup.

 So easy for a piping challenged cookie decorator!

I think these turned out pretty cute. 

I can always tell if I'm right when the grandbabies ooh and ahh over it!

 Do you wanna eat a snowman!?
