Calories: 127kcal
Equipment
- spoon or spatula
- fork or dipping tool
Ingredients
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips or white melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 16 pieces Nutter Butter cookies
- edible candy eyeballs
- mini M&M’s
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. You’ll want that ready before you start dipping the cookies, so things go quickly once you begin.
- Melt (1) 12-ounce package of white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Start with 30 seconds, stir, and continue in 15-second intervals until the mixture is smooth. Stir it well between each burst to prevent scorching.
- Dip each Nutter Butter cookie into the melted white chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Let the excess white chocolate drip off, then gently lay it on the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- While the coating is still wet, press on two candy eyeballs, a mini orange M&M for the nose, and three more mini M&Ms down the body for buttons.
- Let the cookies sit at room temperature or pop the tray into the fridge for about 10–15 minutes until the chocolate is set.
- Serve and ENJOY!

Notes
TFN Pro Tips
- If your white chocolate starts to thicken as you go, just warm it back up for 10–15 seconds.
- Don’t skip the coconut oil! It helps the white chocolate stay smooth and easier to work with.
- You can switch up the colors of the buttons or even add mini scarves or hats if you’re feeling fancy!
- Work on one cookie at a time. Dip, decorate, and move on to the next. The chocolate sets quickly, so it’s best to finish each snowman before starting the next one.
- Marshmallow melt snowmen: Turn your snowman cookies into a gooey winter treat by pressing a toasted marshmallow between two cookies before dipping. Coat in candy melts and dust with confectioners’ sugar or powdered sugar “snow.” Finish with tiny snowflakes or sprinkles for decoration.
- Cookie dough frosted snowmen: Spread a layer of edible cookie dough frosting between two cookies before coating in chocolate. Mix the frosting with a touch of vanilla, flour (heat-treated), and a beaten egg substitute for texture. Once set, drizzle with white cookie icing and top with mini candies for a sweet twist on classic snowmen.
- These are great to make ahead! You can prep them 2–3 days before a party, cookie tray, or classroom event. Just make sure they’re completely dry before storing, and avoid exposing them to heat, as this can cause them to melt or smear.
- Once they’re completely set, store the snowmen in an airtight container. Store them at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate them if your kitchen is warm. Just make sure they’re stacked with parchment between layers if you're stacking them up.
