I Heart Naptime INGREDIENTS: • Cream cheese • Butter • Powdered sugar • Vanilla • Milk (or cream) • Cinnamon Instructions: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter. Then add in powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add in vanilla and milk as needed until desired consistency is met. Beat until light and fluffy. Then pipe the frosting onto the cooled cookies and add a sprinkle of cinnamon. • Use softened cream cheese. There are two easy ways to do this: you can either leave out the cream cheese at room temperature for about 45 minutes or microwave it on high for about 15 seconds. • The butter also needs to be softened. It’s important that the butter is soft, not melted. For this reason, I skip the microwave. Instead, you can cut your butter into small cubes so they soften in an hour or less. If you need to soften it quickly, you can put your butter in a double boiler and pour boiling water in the bowl underneath the bowl holding butter. • Flatten the dough with a drinking glass. Once the dough is made, you’ll roll it into 1″ balls before placing them on the parchment paper. Then, grab a clean drinking glass and use the bottom to flatten each cookie to 1/2″ thickness. • Cool before frosting. Make sure your cookies are completely cool before adding your frosting. It’s hard to wait, but otherwise, they might melt the icing rather than hold its fluffy form. • Frosting. Instead of a thick frosting, you can drizzle on a delicious cream cheese glaze if preferred.
