Powdered Sugar Frosting

1. 1

   In a small bowl, stir the powdered sugar together with enough cream to form a thick, firm froasting.

2. 2

   Spoon the frosting into a small pastry bag fitted with a small round writing tip or a plastic freezer bag with a tiny hole cut in one corner.

3. 3

   Holding the pastry tip or plastic bag about 1 inch above the cookie and moving it slowly, pipe hair, a mouth, shoes, and whatever else you like for decoration on each cookie.

4. 4

   Draw a frosting bow or bow tie at the neck, or outline a dress or jacket.

5. 5

   Or create any whimsical design you choose.

6. 6

   (Sometimes I look at pictures of decorated gingerbread cookies for ideas.)

7. 7

   Let the cookies sit until the frosting is firm.
