Directions:
Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add sugar beating well. Add egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, beating until blended.

Combine flour and baking powder, then add to butter mixture, mixing well. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours.

Shape dough into 24 1-inch balls, 24 ¾-inch balls and 24 ½-inch balls. Place 1 ball of each size in a row to resemble a snowman on an ungreased baking sheet. Press together gently. Repeat procedure with remaining balls and dough.

Press 2 mini-morsels on the ½-inch ball for eyes. Press 1 red candy on the ¾-inch ball and 2 red candies on the 1-inch ball for buttons. Repeat for the remaining snowmen.

Bake at 350º for 18 or until edges are firm and bottoms are golden. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Pipe frosting between ½-inch and ¾-inch balls to resemble a scarf. Pipe frosting at top of ½-inch ball and press peanut butter cup half into frosting for hat.
