1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Prepare Basic Dough. Shape dough into ten 1-1/2-inch balls, ten 1-inch balls, and ten 3/4-inch balls. Roll balls in coarse sugar.
2. For each snowperson, arrange a 1-1/2-inch ball, a 1-inch ball, and a 3/4-inch ball about 1/2 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Slightly flatten 1-1/2-inch ball. Press miniature candy-coated pieces or other candies into 1-1/2-inch and 1-inch ball for buttons; press miniature semisweet pieces into the 3/4-inch balls for eyes. If desired, insert a crafts stick into the 1/2-inch ball. Build snowfolk 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Let stand 2 minutes on the baking sheet. Carefully transfer snowfolk to a wire rack and cool completely. (Do not pick up by sticks, if using, until cookies are completely cool.) Attach Gumdrop Hats to snowfolk with canned frosting. Makes 10 snowfolk.
