Amy Dott's "Evil" Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 package of cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • powdered sugar added until you have the consistency you want.

Instructions

Grandma's Famous Sugar Cookie Instructions

  1. Mix ingredients smoothly together.
  2. Sometimes I roll the dough out after spraying Pam on the counter top and cut out whatever cookie cutter shape I want to or if I am in a hurry, I just use a cookie scoop.
  3. Bake at 370 degrees 8-10 minutes
  4. (Note: I try not to make these very often because when I make them, I eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  5. Also, if I am delivering them to friends or neighbors, I will freeze them and then package and deliver them. This helps keep the frosting beautiful until the recipient receives them.)

Amy Dott's "Evil" Cream Cheese Frosting Instructions

  1. Just mix -- adding powdered sugar as noted above -- and frost!
  2. I mix the frosting in my mixer with a wire whip attachment on high for several minutes. It makes a lighter fluffier consistency. Also, you want to make sure you have no clumps in the frosting if you are using a piping bag and tip.
