Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Let your little elves personalize these fun cookies with different candies and colors!
  • tip 2
    Use 2 different-sized cookie scoops to make portioning cookie dough even faster and more consistent.
  • tip 3
    Making and baking snowmen in batches of 6 gives time to complete the decorating process easily.
  • tip 4
    Place HERSHEY’S® Kisses® brand milk chocolates on top of snowman, and let melt into cookie. Make sure candy is attached before moving snowman! If not, let cool a few minutes longer.
  • tip 5
    If desired, use Mini M&M's™ chocolate candies instead of red cinnamon candies. Or make some of each!
  • tip 6
    If using 21-oz pouch of Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix, make dough as directed for cutout cookies. Use 1/3 cup sugar, 34 pretzel sticks, 68 cinnamon candies, 34 HERSHEY’S® Kisses® brand milk chocolates, 68 HERSHEY’S® mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 candied orange slice. For scarves, mix 3 tablespoons frosting and 6 drops food color. 34 cookies.
