Cream together with hand mixer or stand mixer. on low – medium speed  When combined, whip on high for about a minute.  I like to frost mine in a circular motion with a star tip.

 

 

Then I added some sprinkles.

 

And remember the Gingerbread Drop cookies from earlier this week? I rolled out the other half of the dough and made gingerbread men cookies.

 

When they cooled I decorated the cookies.
