Detailed step-by-step description of how to cook the dish "Mitten Snowman Cookies". Try it by all means
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In bowl, with spoon, combine cookie mix with butter, egg, chocolate, and cocoa. Shape dough into 1/2-inch- thick disk; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until chilled. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using 5-inch x 3 1/2-inch mitten-shaped cookie cutter, cut out shapes, re-rolling scraps. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until baked through. Cool 5 minutes. Remove; cool on rack.
- With mixer on low speed, beat confectioners’ sugar, meringue powder and 1/4 cup water until soft peaks form, about 7 minutes. Transfer half of icing to separate bowl; tint blue with food coloring, then stir in water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the consistency of honey. Stir water, 1 teaspoon at a time, into remaining white icing until slightly thicker than blue icing. Transfer 1/4 cup white icing to separate bowl; tint black. Transfer black icing to disposable pastry bag; snip tip. Transfer remaining white icing to pastry bag fitted with coupler and 1/4-inch round tip. Cover icings when not in use.
- Spread blue icing over cookies. Let dry, at least 1 hour.
- Lightly brush bottom edge of cookies with corn syrup; sprinkle with blue edible glitter. Let dry completely. For snowmen, starting at bottom, with white icing, pipe three rounds (about 2 inches, 1 1/2 inches and 1 1/4 inches) in center of each cookie. While still wet, sprinkle with white edible glitter; let dry. Remove any excess glitter with small brush.
- With black icing, pipe on hat, then eyes, mouth and buttons. Fit coupler on bag of white icing with small writing tip; pipe border along edge of cookies. For scarves and hat trim, cut strips from fruit roll-up. For noses, cut small triangles from gumdrop. Attach scarves, hat trim, noses and sprinkles with dots of corn syrup. Decorate cookies with piped dots of white and/or attach flower sprinkles.
