Ingredients

• ✓ sugar cookie
• cream cheese
• white candy melt
• lollipop stick
• candy sprinkle

Instructions

1. 1 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2 Combine cookies and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix until well blended.
3. 3 Form mixture into twenty four 1 1/2-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet and secure a lollipop stick in each one. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
4. 4 While the cake pops are chilling, place candy melts in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
5. 5 Remove cake pops from the refrigerator. Dip each one in the melted candy coating, allowing any excess to drip off. Return to the lined baking sheet and sprinkle immediately with sprinkles. Let sit until coating has completely set, about 10 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ sugar cookie
• egg white
• confectioners' sugar
• lemon juice
• marshmallow
• black decorating gel
• orange decorating gel
• silver nonpareil
• red decorating gel
• green decorating gel

Instructions

1. 1 Beat egg whites lightly in a large bowl using an electric mixer until frothy. Slowly beat enough confectioners' sugar into egg whites to make icing that will hold shape; blend in lemon juice until desired consistency is reached.
2. 2 Arrange cookies about 1-inch apart on a large sheet of waxed paper. Spread icing onto each cookie, allowing icing to drip over edges to look like melting snow.
3. 3 Grease a microwave-safe plate. Place 1 marshmallow onto plate.
4. 4 Microwave marshmallow until it starts to puff up, 20 to 30 seconds. Immediately place marshmallow on the edge of 1 cookie while the icing is still wet to look like a melted snowman. Repeat with remaining marshmallows and iced cookies.
5. 5 Decorate melted snowmen cookies by piping twig-like arms using black decorating gel on the icing. Make coal eyes and a mouth on the marshmallow using black decorating gel. Make a carrot nose under the coal eyes using orange decorating gel. Make coat buttons by arranging silver nonpareils down the middle of the icing. Make scarves or bow ties using red decorating gel or green decorating gel.
6. 6 Allow cookies to fully dry before removing from waxed paper, at least 1 hour.
