This sugar cookie frosting is a fluffy, sweet topping that hardens quickly. The cookies are stackable once the frosting hardens. It can be used right away to frost cookies and can also be frozen for later use. To thaw from frozen, just place on the counter and allow to thaw naturally at room temperature for a few hours.
It is all natural ingredients, no corn syrup here! It is the perfect for buttery soft cut out cookies any time of the year. We made these for the Packers game but also use this recipe every Christmas.
