Melting Snowman Cookies

So I have totally confessed about my Pinterest obsession.

Sometimes a little obsession can be a good thing.

Like in the case of a cute cookie.

I found this idea on Pinterest and adapted it to be allergy friendly for String Beane and his kindergarten class.

The results were really cute!  Everyone in String Beane's class loved them and gobbled them up.

Jelly Beane and Butter Beane were equally impressed.  I think they are just about the cutest cookie in the land. 

All I had to do was get a tube of Pillsbury Sugar cookie dough and slice and bake as directed. 

I used this recipe for Royal Icing.  When the cookies were baked and cooled, I spooned some royal icing over the cookies. 

Then I heated the marshmallows in the microwave for about 30 seconds, until they started to puff up a bit.  I put the marshmallow on the cookie. 

Then I tinted the remainder of the royal icing in black, orange, and blue.  I piped the icing on using a #2 decorating tip.

There you have it.

Pumpkin Patch Treats

 

Soccer season is over and we just had an end of the season soccer party for String Beane's team.  My job was to bring a dessert.  

I really did not want to make another trip to the store for any ingredients.  So I just pulled something together with what I had on hand.

I think they turned out cute.

I used Duncan Heins chewy fudge brownie mix and made brownies in a muffin tin.  Then I frosted them with the famous Crisco butter cream, tinted green.  And I stuck on a pumpkin candy that we had left over from Halloween.

Then I used some Pillsbury sugar cookie dough and made the cookies, according to the package.  Slice and bake.  I had some orange frosting, Crisco style, left over from Halloween.  I piped on the frosting in a swirl and then used some of the green frosting to pipe leaves and vines.

The little soccer team loved them.  I loved them too.  It was a win, win.  And a great way to use what I had on hand to make something special for my String Beane!
