Baking Bits: Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?

With the snow around campus finally starting to melt, we might not be able to make any more snowmen, but these delicious cookies are the next BEST thing!

Recipe: 

2 squares unsweetened chocolate

1/2 cup butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Parchment paper

Orange sprinkles

Mini chocolate chips

Frosting:

3 cups powdered sugar

1 tablespoon butter

Milk

Preheat oven to 375. 

1. Melt chocolate and butter together in small saucepan.

2. Cool slightly and stir in sugar and egg. 

3. Sift flour and baking soda together. 

4. Slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients, alternating adding milk, vanilla, and flour until combined.

5. Drop by the tablespoon onto parchment paper lined cookie sheet. 

6. Bake for 8-10 minutes (do not overbake!). They will be very soft.

7. Let cool for one hour, or until completely cool. 

8. To make frosting whip together powdered sugar, melted butter, and milk (enough to moisten properly) until smooth. 

9. Put frosting in microwave safe bowl and microwave for 15 seconds. 

10. Dip tops of cooled cookies into frosting, or drop frosting on top with spoon to achieve melted snowman look. 

11. Decorate with chocolate chips and sprinkles. 

Enjoy these adorable little snowmen! They are also delicious just as brown and white cookies in the warmer months!
