Cream Cheese Frosting
Food Network
Ingredients
- 4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer. With the mixer on low speed, add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Take about 3 candy canes and crush them into pieces. I put mine in a ziploc bagging and beat them with a spoon. Then sprinkle them on top of each frosted cookie....
