And here's another Secret Recipe Club reveal.
Actually this is a
fun one, not one of our regularly scheduled monthly reveals.
As
is usual, we get paired with another blogger, and then have to pick,
make and post about a recipe we find on the other persons' blog.
This
month, in honor of Christmas, we're looking for and making cookie
recipes, and who doesn't need more cookie recipes? I know I do get in a

Then mix the powdered sugar, cream and extract together, and spoon into a piping bag or a ziploc bag and snip off a corner. Pipe over the cooled cookies. Let them sit for a few minutes for the icing to set up, and then serve.
