Prepare white royal icing according to package directions, adding water to reach desired consistency. Gently pour on top of each cookie. Arrange iced cookies in single layer on a baking sheet and let stand for a few minutes for the icing to set.

Using black decorating frosting, draw two dots on the icing for the “eyes.”

Shape a small pinch of orange fondant into triangular/carrot shapes to resemble snowman’s nose.
