Ingredients

8oz pkg cream cheese or light cream cheese
16 oz box powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Wilton color pastes

Directions

Let cream cheese come to room temperature. Mix in powder sugar until smooth. Add vanilla. Mix in desired color pastes.

Frost cookies and let frosting completely dry, about 1 hour. Store layers of cookies with wax paper in between.

You can use food coloring, but you will need a little more powder sugar. The wilton pastes are great, very color intense and they have no taste red and even black!
