Equipment

1 stand mixer
1 Baking Sheet
1 food safe markers

Ingredients

1 package Olive Nation Gluten Free Sugar Cookie Mix or any sugar cookie mix of your choosing
1 Stick butter melted
3 tablespoon water
1 Sugar cookie frosting of your choice
1 bag mini chocolate chips for the buttons
15 marshmallows a few e
½ cup Gluten Free 1:1 Flour or traditional flour if you do not have a gluten allergy. This is for dusting the counter.

Instructions

Making the Cookies

Add melted butter (or Vegan alternative) and water to 12 oz. of Sugar Cookie Mix in a mixer. Mix until fully blended.
Carefully coat a non stick surface with a bit of gluten free flour.
Roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness.
Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and gently transfer to baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake 10-13 minutes in pre-heated 350°F oven until the edges begin to brown slightly.
Place the cookies onto a baking rack and allow them to cool for 15 minutes before frosting. Cool completely before frosting or decorating.

Decorating the Cookies

While they are cooling, cut a small amount of the marshmallow off. Then using either cookie icing or food-safe markers, draw the two eyes and carrot onto the marshmallow.
Frost with your choice of sugar cookie frosting.
Place the marshmallow onto the cookie while the frosting is still wet. Then place the three chocolate chips as buttons while it is still wet. Allow them to cool before serving. Enjoy!

Tips

Remove the Cookies Before They're Done: Your cookies should be golden on the edges and soft in the center. Carryover cooking from the hot baking sheet will finish them to perfection. Remember, a fully baked cookie is an OVERBAKED cookie!
Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Perfectly Round Cookies: For pretty, perfectly round cookies, place a large cup over each cookie when removed from the oven, then use a circular, swirling motion to round the edges.
