For a different variation of this recipe you can omit the chocolate candies and add in 1 Cup mini chocolate chips to the dough. Then form into balls and cook.

Baked Ice Cream Snowballs

In small oven safe dishes, often called ramekins, place broken cookies into bottom of dish. You will need 6 -3 inch ramekins for this recipe. Add your favorite ice cream to the ramekins to fill the dish. Place the ramekins in the freezer while you finish preparing this fun cold weather recipe.

• 3 egg whites at room temperature
• ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
• ¼ Cup sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In mixing bowl add the egg whites. With your mixer whip egg whites several minutes until they look like soft peaks. Add the cream of tartar, sugar and vanilla. Continue whipping in the mixer for several minutes until peaks become stiff.

Take the ice cream out of the freezer and add the egg white mixture(known as meringue) to the top of each ice cream dish. Completely cover the ice cream with the meringue. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes until the meringue is browned. This won't take long to brown. Now you have your baked snowballs that you can decorate with chocolate syrup or eat as is.

Tortilla Snowflakes

by Jill Anton (Toronto Canada)

• Per child:
• 1 9" soft tortilla
• a little butter for frying
• lots of icing sugar
• pair of scissors

Fold the tortilla in half, and then in half again. Give the child a clean pair of scissors and have them cut out shapes.....so that when you open up the tortilla it looks like a snowflake.

Melt some butter in a frying pan and cook the tortilla for a couple of minutes on each side until it just starts to turn golden. Remove from pan and put onto a large tray or plate that has liberal amounts of icing sugar on it.

When the "snowflake" is coated, eat it and enjoy!
** Demonstrate on paper the day beforehand how to make paper snowflakes.
