Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 2 1/3 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use parchment paper or a silpat mat to line a baking sheet.
  • Mix butter, oil, sugar and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer until smooth.
  • Add the vanilla extract, egg, and almond extract to the butter mixture and mix.
  • Add flour, salt, cream of tartar and baking powder and mix until combined.
  • Scoop out 3 different sized dough balls - one small, medium and large. Good idea - 1 tbsp, 1 1/2 tbsp, 2 tbsps of dough for each.
  • Roll the dough balls into balls and place in a snowman configuration on the baking sheet. 
  • Bake for 12-13 minutes. Remove from oven. Carefully, place two mini chocolate chips in the top of the snowman as eyes and two mini M&Ms in the bottom two pieces of the snowman as buttons. Let cookies remain on tray to continue cooking for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to completely cool.
  • PREPARE ICING FOR SCARF WHILE SNOWMEN ARE COOLING. Cream butter, powdered sugar and almond extract until completely combined. Add in heavy cream and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add in a bit of red or green food coloring and mix. Place the icing in a small zip lock bag and snip off one corner with a scissors. 
  •  When snowmen are completely cooled, put a tab of icing on a Rolo candy and place on the top of the snowman as a hat. Add a scarf to the snowmen cookies with the red (or green) icing.
