Cream Cheese Frosting / Icing For Cookies

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar

Recipe

• 1 soften cream cheese for a few seconds in microwave if necessary. heat cream, butter, and cream cheese in a small pot, just until the butter and cream cheese melt into the cream. (stir frequently to avoid burning.).
• 2 remove the pot from the stove, and stir in the 3 cups of powdered sugar. you will have a goopy mess. beat it with your electric mixer, until it changes color slightly (3-4 minutes.)
• 3 spoon, paint, or spread it on your cooled cookies. it will still be pretty thin and goopy, but it should spread in a nice, even coat. (i used the back of my spoon to spread it.)
• 4 let the icing 'set' for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, until it hardens. it won't harden completely, but it will form a nice soft frosting layer that squishes only slightly when pressed, similar to a slice of cheese.
• 5 i modified a regular icing recipe to make this, and was very disappointed with the results at first, but after i left the cookies on the counter for two hours, i was glad i saved them. the icing is perfect for transporting, and has a very good flavor, just right for carrot cake cookies.
