Ingredients:
1 c. butter, softened
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 c. (8 oz.) sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
FROSTING/DECORATING:
4 c. confectioners' sugar
1/2 c. butter, melted
6 Tbsp. milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3-4 drops red food coloring
Pink sugar wafer cookies
36 large marshmallows, halved
Butterscotch chips and miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the eggs, sour cream and vanilla; mix well.  Combine dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture and mix well.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.  Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

For frosting, in a large bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, milk, vanilla and food coloring.  Frost cookies.  

Cut sugar wafers into triangles; place 2 on each cookie for ears.  With a toothpick, poke 2 holes in each marshmallow half for nostrils; press butterscotch chips into holes.  Place noses on cookies; add chocolate chip eyes.
