How to make Frosting?
If you want to add a festive touch to your cookie cake, decorate it with whip cream or chocolate buttercream frosting. To make the frosting, put the put sugar and cocoa powder in a bowl. Stir them to blend. In another bowl, beat 4 tablespoons of butter with an electric beater until smooth. Keeping it on low speed, add the sugar mixture and a little milk in it. Continue to beat until the mixture gets smooth and creamy. Take a pastry bag and fit it with a decorative tip. Fill the frosting in it. Pipe the frosting around the corners of the cookie cake and add sprinkles. You may also prepare vanilla buttercream frosting in a similar way. If you want to take the cookie cake to someone's home, place it in the fridge for some time to settle the frosting. Cake boxes are perfect from preventing it from spoilage.
