Holiday Sugar Cookie Frosting

Sharing is caring!

Holiday Sugar Cookie Frosting is a nice sweet refined sugar-free vanilla frosting, with homemade jam or peppermint flavorings. Indeed this frosting is perfect for any holiday such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter or any other holiday.

Often times when I make soft sugar cookies I don’t frost them. However, in America, most people make them with frosting. Therefore, I  decided to create a cream cheese frosting to go on top of the cookies. Additionally, I add a teaspoon or two of cranberry sauce, pomegranate seeds and several needles of a fresh sprig of rosemary to decorate. Needless to say, the textures of the cookie and crunch of the pomegranate are delightful. Not to mention, there is the tart combined with the sweet.

Frosting Flavors:

Not to mention this frosting is light and creamy. In short, Holiday Sugar Cookie Frosting can be made to have a vanilla flavor, or a jam and fresh fruit flavor, or peppermint. By the way, this frosting can also be used to frost a cake or cupcakes. etc.

Nutritional Facts are listed below and are based on two teaspoons per serving. In fact, I only smeared a small amount of frosting on the cookies as they don’t need much.  Nutritional facts are without cranberry sauce and pomegranate seeds. Use with my Sugar Cookie recipe.
