We have lived on the central coast of California for 22 years, and it has only snowed here once in all that time(of course, growing up in L.A. county, it never snowed). That day the snow was so pretty and magical, but very short-lived!
At my house if I want to see snowflakes, I have to make my own~cookie style:)
And we all know, where there's snow, there's hot chocolate! And where there's hot chocolate, there's marshmallows!
The hot cocoa mug/cup cookies were made using homemade templates fashioned from a favorite, wintry kitchen towel.
The snowflakes were made with a 1-inch round cookie cutter.
The marshmallows were cut out, freehand, with a small knife.
All the cookies were made using my favorite sugar cookie/royal icing recipe.
The smiley faces and rosy cheeks on the marshmallows were drawn with AmeriColor Gourmet Writer food decorating pens. I love them~the pens and the marshmallows. Don't you think marshmallows look a lot cuter with smiley faces? :) I also sprinkled granulated sugar on all of the snowflakes, while the icing was still wet.
Try these cookies with a big cup of hot cocoa and make your winter warm, cozy and yummy!
ENJOY!

So darling. Just. Love.Them.
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculously cute. I clicked on the link from my blog wondering what "hot cocoa cookies" were, maybe cookies for cocoa? Cookies that taste that cocoa? I spotted the image an in about a half-second I went over to Edible Crafts to post. I can't get over these... I think it's the marshmallows that did it.
ReplyDeleteThese are some of the cutest cookies!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration. This weeks assignment is care packages for the college students with a hot drink theme. Your idea is perfect. Not much snow in Florida either, btw.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the colors! And the little marshmallow faces are SO CUTE!!
ReplyDeletehas to be one of the cutest cookies I have EVER seen. They are lovely and made me crack a BIG ole smile at work today and that says a lot!
ReplyDeleteSue I want to print this out and tuck it away for when I need an instant pick-me-up smile. I am smitten!
ReplyDeleteOK. These are way too cute to eat. Good thing you have a camera to record them for posterity. They should be framed. We are having to look to cookies for snowflakes this year too. WE NEED SOME SNOW!!!!

ReplyDeleteSuch fun! I'm a huge hot cocoa fan. In fact I walked in the door from my bike ride last night and my son handed me a cup of hot cocoa knowing that I would be very cold after my heart rate came back down. It was heaven! What a good boy huh! I love the little marshmallows with your hot cocoa. What an adorable idea Sue! You always come up with such fun cookies! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the color combo of red/blue.

Totally adorable marshmallow cookies, they are just the sweetest things. I love them (and I agree the Americolor writers are fab)
ReplyDeleteThese are just the cutest. Blue is my favorite color which is an added bonus.
ReplyDeleteJust when I think you can't come up with anything cuter, you do! These are as cute as can be.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies are beautiful!! The snow...hmmmm, here in NE Ohio we are in the middle of a snow storm so it's well, not so beautiful! The cookies and hot chocolate though would certainly help!
ReplyDeleteI wish my cookies would come out this beautiful! I'm hosting a Winter Wonderland link party on Monday and would love it if you linked up!
