Starting with Thanksgiving, the holidays are full of fun festivities and family events. However, for many of us, it can also be hectic with finals and trying to enjoying the season. When you are able to take a study break, here are some great treats to make for a party, use as a gift, or to simply relax and enjoy with friends!
What you’ll need:

Step One: The easiest way to make this quick treat is to use pre-made cookie dough! Each type varies with instructions so make sure to check the package.
Step Two: Melt white icing to drizzle over the cookie. While the icing is still soft add the marshmallow so it will stick.
Step Three: Once the frosting is cooled use the icing gel to decorate however you like!
