Today’s post is all about spreading some holiday cookie cheer and making someone’s day. With Christmas just around the corner, now is the perfect excuse to go the extra mile and just say THANK YOU to the special people in our lives.

As you all may know by now, my husband is currently serving in the Air Force. One of his many jobs is to go out to the missile fields here and do exactly what I’m hoping to inspire YOU to do today, which is build some moral and spread some cheer!!!

And how can you do that? With cookies of course!

Recently my son and I made some “jolly” good Nutter Butter Snowmen Cookies for my husband to take along on one of his unit visitations. Not only was it a sweet {and simple} gesture from all of us as a “team” to thank those working out in the field for their service but it was also meant to bring a little comfort from home to them as well.

Although we gave our finished sweet treats to military members, you can do the same gesture for friends, family, teachers, etc – by following the SIMPLE tutorial below and grabbing some Nutter Butters at your local Walmart. I promise you this cookie gift idea is not too complicated or expensive either!

So what are you waiting for? Check out the full tutorial below and get to work on “building” some awesome snowmen today!!!

Nutter Butter Snowman Cookie Supplies:

* Nutter Butter Cookies
* White Melting Chocolate
* Mini Chocolate Candies
* Pull n’ Peel Twizzlers
* Orange/Black Gel Frosting
* Wax Paper
* Large Cookie Sheets
* Kitchen Scissors
* Regular Spoon
* Cookie Tins/Tissue Paper for gifting

Directions:

* Following the directions on your white chocolate packaging, melt your chocolate.
* Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and place your Nutter Butter Cookies on top.
* Now grab your melted white chocolate and spoon. Carefully “paint” some white chocolate on the front of each cookie.
* Before the chocolate starts to harden, go ahead and add your mini chocolate candies for the snowman’s buttons, as well as some Twizzlers pieces that are cut to look like scarves. Repeat the above steps for each snowman cookie you want to create.
* To finish off the Snowman Cookies – draw on a snowman face with the orange & black frosting and let those sit for about an hour to make sure it all hardens in place & won’t smear.
* Then pile your frosty good men into a nice cookie tin to make it easy for gifting away!

So what do you think of our snowmen? They turned out pretty awesome, right? Are you going to be taking the extra step to spread some cookie cheer this holiday season? I sure hope so!
