Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine all cookie ingredients. Beat on low, scraping bowl often, until well mixed, about 2-3 minutes. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into an 8x1 inch roll. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm (about 1-2 hours.)

Preheat oven to 350. Cut each roll into 1/4 inch slices. Place 2" apart on cookie sheets. Bake 8-12 minutes. Cookies will not brown. Cool completely.

In a small bowl, combine all frosting ingredients. Beat on medium, scraping bowl often, until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Frost cooled cookies.
