  • Prep Time: 20 min.
  • Bake Time: 12- 17 min.
  • Decoration Time: 20 min.
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Yield: Makes 24 cookies.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1 roll (18 oz.) store-bought refrigerated cookie dough
  • 1 ½ cups prepared vanilla frosting
  • Red, green and blue food coloring
  • 1 tube brown decorating frosting
  • 1 cup M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies for the Holidays
  • Cookie sheet pan
  • 24 6-inch lollipop sticks
  • Reynolds® Parchment Paper
  • 4 resealable plastic bags
  • 2 ½-inch star-shaped and snowman cookie cutters

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the cookie sheet pan with Reynolds® Parchment Paper.
  • 2. Knead the flour into the cookie dough until smooth. Roll out the dough to a scant 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out 12 stars and 12 snowmen, re-rolling the scraps if necessary. Transfer the star cookies to the prepared cookie sheet pan, pressing a lollipop stick halfway into each one.
  • 3. Bake for 12-17 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
  • 4. Divide the frosting between four small bowls. Tint frosting; red, bright green and blue, leaving one white. Spoon the frostings into the resealable plastic bags; snip the corners and pipe outlines on the cookies, filling in the centers with frosting and spreading to make smooth.
  • 5. Attach M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for the Holidays on the cookies’ tops. Pipe on dots, scarves and faces, and then add more candies.
  • Tip: To make the cookie holder, paint a box white (approximately 4 x 12 inches). Wrap a strand of holiday ribbon around the center, and fill the box with Styrofoam or a floral oasis. Press the lollipop stick into the Styrofoam. Then cover the surface with M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies.
