Snowman Cookie Ingredients

It takes just a few simple ingredients to make the cutest Snowman Cookies.

That’s it!!

  • Cake Mix
  • Melted Butter (or Vegetable or Canola Oil)
  • Eggs
  • White Frosting
  • Mini Chocolate Chips
  • Mini M&M’s

*When it comes to Cake Mix Cookies, salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix will have a little salt in it.  However, I’ve found that salted butter will result in superior flavor.

Make Ahead Tips

Cake mix cookies are SO easy to make ahead of time!

The dough can be made today, then stored covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days prior to baking your Snowman cookies.

How To Make Snowman Cookies

Treat yourself to one totally adorable Snowman cookie when you follow these simple step-by-step instructions:

Here’s what you’ll do…

1. Mix up your cookie dough.

2. Then chill your cookie dough in the refrigerator.

3. After dough has chilled, roll dough into small balls, and place on cookie sheet.

4. Bake in oven, then allow the cookies to cool on cookies sheets for 5 minutes, prior to moving to wire racks to finish cooling.

5. Once completely cooled, frost and decorate your cookies.

      I made these, they were so easy but the dough was a bit messy. I used plant based butter but they still turned out. Unfortunately my decorating skills are not great but they were cute.
