  • Bake Time: 7 to 8 minutes per batch
  • Chill Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup butter OR margarine, softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
FROSTING:
  • 2-1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 teaspoons meringue powder
  • 1/4 cup Karo® Light Corn Syrup
  • Green food coloring
  • Assorted decorations
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Directions

  1. MIX powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, almond extract and egg in a large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until dough is completely chilled.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F.

To make frosting:
  1. BEAT powdered sugar, water and meringue powder on low speed just until combined. Beat on high for 4 minutes or until soft peaks form. Add corn syrup, beat 1 minute longer.
  2. TINT half of frosting with green food coloring. Frost cookies with green and white icing as desired. Use melted chocolate to form snowmen's hats. Decorate and let stand until frosting is set.
