Christmas fun

Melting snow man!




~~***MELTING SNOMAN***~~


1. 1 package Sugar Cookie Mix 
2. 10 large marshmallows
3. Cookie Icing (white and orange)
4. Decorating Icing Tubes in Black, Red, Green, Blue and Pink


Mix cookie mix according to directions, or prepare your favorite cut out sugar cookie recipe, then just grab a tablespoon sized ball and squish it down until it's about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Do not worry about the shape or how lumpy it is, the more misshapen the better. Bake according to recipe directions.


Once the cookies are cool, load them up with the cookie icing and spread it around with the back of a spoon, let some dribble over the edge for a "puddle" look.


Spray a microwave safe plate with cooking spray, and place marshmallows on the plate. Set the microwave for 30 seconds, but watch the marshmallows as they cook. Stop the microwave as soon as the marshmallows start to get puffy, do not let them double in size.


Spray your fingers with cooking spray or grease them up with a little butter, and carefully pull the marshmallows off, by the base, and set them on top of the frosted cookies.


Then just decorate as you'd like with the icing, or your own homemade frosting


Make your own Tree decorations 

This is a cute Idea and Edible! That is unless you use real glue, then please do not eat or let kids eat these yummy looking decoration.



These are the decorations my family made this year. We wanted to do our tree in gold and white. We did not have any white bulbs so we took old scratched glass green bulbs and placed them in bleach and then cleaned all the old paint off. Then we placed white water base ceramic paint inside and swirled it around till we had white bulbs. 
We also gathered pine cones and then spray painted them gold.
