Cookies using leftover frosting.

Yum


who doesnt love cakes and cookies!. Imagine if they both combine in a recipe. These are incredible that you just cant stop by having just one. I had the leftover butter and cream cheese frosting that i made for cake, the frosting has been refridgerated for two days, so i decided to make use of this in my recipe and make them into another irressible desert for my kids. I used whole wheat flour along with plain flour to make it little healthly. This is easy and quick, here is what you will need.





butter cream cheese frosting - 1 cup
Whole wheat flour - 1 cup
plain flour - 1 cup
baking powder - 1 teaspoon
egg - 1


PREP TIME : 15 mins                    BAKE TIME : 10 to 15 mins  at 350F

leftover frosting at room temperature and flour with baking powder
the cookie dough will be like a crumble in the beginning, try to work through
cookie dough is set
make shapes after rolling the dough



In a mixing bowl, add the flour and baking powder combine nicely, to this add the frosting, make sure the frosting is at room temperature. The frosting already has the needed fat and sugar, im not adding any more of it. Crack open one egg to this, make a dough. If you dont want to use an egg, then pour about two tablespoon of milk instead. The mixture might be little crumbly in the beginning but as you work it eventually form a dough, do not knead, just try to put them together, refridgerate for about 30 mins to set. Now this is the fun part involve your kids in this, roll them and make shapes using a cookie cutter. I made my kids to  this, they loved cutting cookies using their cookie cutter. Thats it ! pop them to a preheated oven at 350F for 10 to 15mins. When you find the corner of the cookies turns brown remove them and place them in a cooling rack. They might be soft when hot, as it cools down completely will turn crispy. If you have more time you can frost these cookies and can be turned as a gift for your loved ones, they are crispy, buttery and delicious. My kids had great time, they loved these cookies, better than store bought variety, chemical free.
