Ingredients
  

Basic Ingredients
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar Provides primary sweetness.
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter Must be softened to room temperature.
  • 2.5 cups All-purpose flour Gives structure to the cookies.
  • 1 large Egg Acts as a binder for the mixture.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder Helps the cookies rise.
Essential Seasonings or Add-ins
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds warmth to the flavor.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors.
  • 1 cup Mini chocolate chips or colored candies For decorative elements to represent snowman features.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Assemble all necessary ingredients and allow the butter to reach room temperature.
Mixing
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
Combining and Assembling
  1. Gradually combine the dry flour mixture with the creamed butter mixture until just combined.
  2. Fold in chocolate chips or other candies into the dough.
  3. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately.
Baking
  1. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Allow them to rest on the baking sheet before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Decorating
  1. Once cooled, frost the cookies and decorate with chocolate chips and sprinkles to create the melting snowman effect.

Notes

Baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container for several days. For longer storage, consider freezing the cookies without frosting. A thicker buttercream frosting works best for decoration, as it holds shapes well. Adjust frosting flavors as desired.
