Recipe Notes

 

Use a small cookie scoop to scoop and spread icing over the cookies. If not available, simply use two spoons: one to scoop and one to scrape it from the other spoon. If the icing is too sticky, chill the cookies for 30 minutes if needed. You can also lightly dust the cookies with cinnamon, or mix 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon into the icing.
