Ingredients
- 16 sugar cookies store-bought or homemade, round
- 2 1/2 cups royal icing store-bought or homemade
- 16 marshmallows cut in half if needed
- 16 orange sprinkles
- M&Ms different colors
- black gel food coloring or store bought black icing tube
Instructions
- Measure 1/2 cup of royal icing separately and place it in a bowl, use the food coloring gel to dye it black. Add to a piping bag and cut off a very small tip.
- Add the remaining icing to a larger piping bag, snipping off a tip.
- Next, frost the cookies with white icing, you can allow it to drip over the sides to create the "melted" effect.
- Immediately add the marshmallow closer to the edge of the cookie. Use M&Ms to create the buttons, and then pipe black stick arms floating out from the head while the icing is still wet.
- Allow the cookies to set for 20-30 minutes before decorating the face with two eyes, and mouth. And use a bit of white icing to attach the orange sprinkle nose.
- Enjoy!
