Learn How it Works...
Cookie
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1 large Land O Lakes® Egg
3 tablespoons dark corn syrup or molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Frosting
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 to 4 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Half & Half
Red and yellow food color
Decorations
Black decorator gel
6 green gumdrops, cut into fourths
*Substitute orange food color.
STEP 1
Combine sugar and 1 cup butter in bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add egg, corn syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Continue beating until well mixed. Add all remaining cookie ingredients; beat at low speed until well mixed.
STEP 2
Divide dough into thirds. Shape each third into ball; flatten slightly. Wrap each in plastic food wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm.
STEP 3
Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 4
Roll out dough on well-floured surface, one-third at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 5-inch snowman cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart onto greased cookie sheets. Bake 5-7 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
STEP 5
Combine powdered sugar, 1/2 cup butter and 2 teaspoons vanilla in bowl. Beat at low speed, adding enough half & half for desired spreading consistency. Add red and yellow food color, 1 drop at a time, until desired orange color.
STEP 6
Frost cookies. Create faces on each round section using black decorator gel. Add green gumdrop piece for stem.
Place small decorator candies over gel if you want to create eyes and nose.
