Ingredients:
1 roll (16.5 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
Gum drops
Miniature chocolate chips
Candy-coated chocolate candies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the roll of cookie dough into a large mixing bowl. With a fork, break it into large chunks.
Sprinkle dough with flour. Knead the flour into the dough, until the dough is fairly stiff and no streaks of flour are visible. Divide in half and place the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Remove dough from freezer and shape it into 1 1/2-inch balls, using your fingers. Roll each ball into a 10-inch rope, then place the rope onto an ungreased baking sheet. Beginning with the top, coil and roll the dough into a small spiral for the head. Starting at the other end of the rope, coil a larger spiral for the body.
The end result should look like one small ball attached to a larger ball.
With a sharp knife, cut gumdrops into the shape of hats. Place the hats on the snowmen’s heads. Make eyes and noses from mini chocolate chips and make buttons from the candy coated chocolate candies. Make teensy mouths from red gumdrops. Press into the cookies. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies out on the baking sheets.
Freeze the cookies for about 10 minutes.
Bake the cookies for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden and set. Remove the baked cookies to a rack to cool completely.
