Snowmen Butter Cookies



As December is the month of Christmas, This month's Home Baker's Challenge was hosted by Priya of Cook Like Priya she had suggested three cookies recipes, two cakes and two bread recipes. We were to choose any of the given recipes. Snowmen.  Who doesn’t love to build/bake a snowman?  These are soooo adorable cookies....So I loved to Bake this snow man cookies. Snowmen are always so cute with their carrot noses, scarfs and top hats. These snowmen are simple and fun to make and the dough is easy to shape. I loved the look of this snow men cookie.These cookies are  easy to make very Crisp, fragile, and buttery tasting and adorable...
