MELTING SNOWMEN CHOCOLATE SUGAR COOKIES
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 16 People
Ingredients
⅓ cup vegan butter or margarine
⅓ cup sugar
3 tbsp plant-based milk
1 ⅔ cup plain flour, plus extra for dusting
¼ cup Divine Drinking Chocolate
1 tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
1 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
2 tbsp water
16-18 marshmallows

Method
Step 1
Cream together the butter and sugar until soft and silky and then stir in the milk.

Pour in the flour, Divine Drinking Chocolate powder, baking powder and a pinch of salt and stir to a thick dough. Roll into a ball, wrap tightly and place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350*F and line a work surface with parchment paper and a dusting of flour.

Stir together the icing sugar and water to a thick paste and spread over the cookies in a melting design (or pipe it on for neater “puddles”). Allow the icing to set.
Step 6
Top each cookie with a marshmallow snowman and then place some sprinkles on for buttons. Use the melted chocolate and a toothpick to add on faces and arms and top add some chocolate on top of the marshmallows for hats. Allow to set and dust with icing sugar.
