Swirl of sweetness

This is some seriously good frosting. It's raspberry cream cheese frosting. Pile it onto your favorite sugar cookies for a fabulous Valentine's treat. Your loved ones, and your sweet tooth, will thank you.

THE RECIPE:

1 8-ounce brick cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. raspberry extract
6 c. powdered sugar

Beat together first four ingredients, and then add powdered sugar. You should have a nice thick frosting, which is perfect for piping. Makes enough for about four dozen cookies.

Oh - we tried these last night and thought they were delicious. Well done! I couldn't believe all the dessert choices you pulled off at the wedding. It was all pretty remarkable and lots of fun. I'm so glad everything turned out so beautifully and hope you can find some time to relax!
