Melted Snowman Cookies

These melted snowman cookies are fun to make and everyone will love them!  They are way easier than they look, too! 

Ingredients:

• 1 box Devil's food cake mix
• 1 stick butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon mint extract
• 1 package white melting chocolate (I used white chocolate chips)
• 10 miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, cut in half
• Mini chocolate chips
• Orange sprinkles
• Toothpick (to draw on the mouth)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a large bowl, combine cake mix, butter, eggs, flour, and extract.
• Use a cookie scoop to drop evenly sized potions of dough onto a baking sheet.

• Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool on the sheet for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.

• Once the cookies are cool, melt white chocolate chips. Drizzle a spoonful over each cookie to form the melted snow. Add a peanut butter cup half for the hat, and decorate the faces with chocolate chips and sprinkles.  Dip your toothpick in chocolate to draw on the mouth in a smile.

That's all there is to it!  Enjoy making these and sharing them!   Melted Snowman Cookie image via Momma Told Me
