Meanwhile, separate frosting into 3 small bowls, using 1 1/4 cups to make red frosting, 1/4 cup for yellow frosting and 1/4 cup for black frosting. Add food color to each, and mix to get desired colors (red, yellow and black). Frost and decorate cookies to look like Santa’s belly, using photo as a guide.

Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    As an alternative to yellow and black frosting, try using colorful candies (black licorice, gumdrops, mini candy-coated chocolates) to customize Santa’s belt and buckle.
  • tip 2
    Store cookies in covered container.
  • tip 3
    It does help to flatten the marshmallows slightly before frosting if they seem too puffy.
