Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Making these for Halloween? Transfer icing to a large resealable food-storage plastic bag, and refrigerate. When ready to ice cookies, cut a tiny piece from a corner of the bag, and squeeze icing out to make jack-o'-lantern faces or crescent shapes for harvest moons.
  • Tip 2
    In a pinch, canned cream cheese frosting can be used instead of the cream cheese and icing sugar mixture.
