Today I will be making my grandma Wolf’s frosted creams or gingerbread cookies. This recipe was passed down to my mom and then to me. This is one of my childhood christmas time traditions where mom would make and bake the cookies and the kids would help frost the cookies and lick the beaters. Now I am sharing her recipe with you.

Instructions
Make Icing
- In a mixing bowl put in 3 tablespoons earth balance buttery stick, 4 cups powdered sugar and 2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Start to mix them.
- Slowly start to add in vegan unsweetened unflavored milk. Put in enough until the icing is just spreadable. Don't make too thin, if you do just add more powdered sugar until you get the right consistency.
- Split the icing in half. Put red color in one half and green in the other half. Put in enough color to make them a nice dark red or green.
- Get the kids if you have any and let them help you frost the cookies. Let them sit for at least half an hour to let the icing set before eating.
