Time 1h45m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon red cinnamon candies
1/2 cup fluffy white whipped ready-to-spread frosting (from 12-oz container)
1/4 cup flaked coconut or edible glitter
1 roll (0.75 oz) chewy fruit snack in 3-foot rolls (any red flavor)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat sugar and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Beat in vanilla and egg. On low speed, beat in flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Shape dough into 1-inch balls. For each cookie, flatten ball into about 1 1/2-inch round with fingers; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Lightly press 2 chocolate chips into upper third of each dough round for eyes.
  • Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately press 1 cinnamon candy onto each cookie for nose. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool 15 minutes.
  • Place frosting in small resealable food-storage plastic bag. Seal bag; cut off small corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe frosting along bottom edge of cookie and above cinnamon candy for beard. Lightly sprinkle coconut over frosting; gently press into frosting.
  • Cut fruit snack into 2-inch-long pieces. Cut each piece diagonally in half to make 2 triangles. With small amount of frosting, attach fruit snack triangle on each cookie for hat. Fold top corner of each triangle over; pipe frosting "tassle" on pointed end of each "hat."
