Instructions
Cream Cheeze Icing
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and cream cheeze together. Add the sifted icing sugar along with the lemon and lime juices and the vanilla. Beat until smooth, adding a little more lemon juice to make a glaze-type icing that is not too thick or too thin.
- When cookies are cool, while they are on the rack, use this glaze to cover the cookies. The Citrus Snowballs should be covered with the glaze and then rolled in coconut. If you want to add decorations, try a little grated lime peel and a sliver of dried cranberry; be sure you add these while the icing is still soft.
- Leave the iced cookies to dry before eating. These can be made ahead and kept airtight. Enjoy!
