Mix until just combined.
Scrape down the edges and bring it all together.
Step 5:
Take a sheet of cling wrap and lay it flat on your work surface.
Transfer the dough and cover it with the top and bottom of the cling wrap.
Make a log thats around 2 inches wide.
Place in the freezer for 2 hours or overnight.
Step 6:
After 2 hours, cut the log into 1/4 rounds.
Place them on a lined sheet pan.
They dont spread that much so you dont need a lot of room.
Bake the cookies at 375F for 10 minutes.
Once done, place them on a cooling rack.

Flood icing over the top of the marshmallow and down the edges.
Add a single orange sprinkle between the eyes for the nose.
