What You Need

pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

cup powdered sugar

3/4

cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter or margarine

1/2

tsp. vanilla

cups flour

1/2

tsp. baking soda

Suggested decorations, such as decorating gels, colored sprinkles, nonpareils and miniature peanut butter cups (optional)

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 325°F. Beat cream cheese, sugar, butter and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add flour and baking soda; mix well.

SHAPE dough into equal number of 1/2-inch and 1-inch diameter balls. (You should have about 44 of each size ball.) Using 1 small and 1 large ball for each snowman, place balls, slightly overlapping, on ungreased baking sheet. Flatten to 1/4-inch thickness with bottom of glass dipped in additional flour. Repeat with remaining dough.

BAKE 19 to 21 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack. Sprinkle each snowman with sifted powdered sugar, if desired.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

A serving of these cookies along with a glass of low-fat milk is sure to be a hit as an after school snack for your kids.

Special Extra

Decorate with decorating gels, colored sprinkles and nonpareils to resemble snowmen. Cut peanut butter cups in half. Place 1 candy half on top of each snowman for hat.

How to Soften Cream Cheese

Place completely unwrapped package of cream cheese on microwavable plate. Microwave on HIGH 10 to 15 seconds or until slightly softened.

These snowmen cookies are really light and fluffy. They are really good! The dough is easy to roll out, and I made more than 3 dozen when I made the recipe.

I ENJOYED THIS RECIPE I LET MY DAUGHTER AND NEICE HELP ROLL THE BALLS. I GOT AROUND 32 OUT OF MINE BUT IT DEPENDS ON HOW BIG THE BALLS ARE ROLLED. AND THEY TASTED GREAT
