Melted Snowman Cookies
Melted Snowman Cookies not only make such a fun winter treat–they’re also crazy delicious! These sugary peanut butter cookies are topped with a peanut butter cup and melted white chocolate. Throw on a few candies to decorate the tops like a melting snowman.
Melted Snowman Cookies aren’t anything “new” to the internet, but I’m so excited to share my take on them because if you’re a chocolate and peanut butter fan, these are the tastiest version of Melted Snowman Cookies around!
No need for a melted snowman cookie cutter– these cookies don’t require any special baking tools to create!
Start by whipping up a batch of your favorite cookies–either homemade or store-bought (we love and recommend peanut butter cookies for this recipe). Press a peanut butter cup on top of the cookie and let it cool. Once fully cool, top with melted white chocolate, a peanut butter cup “hat,” an orange sprinkle for the nose, and 2 miniature chocolate chips for the eyes.
