  Using a medium scoop, make balls of dough. Using a flat bottom glass that has been dipped in sugar, press down on cookies to get that crinkly edge. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Don't overbake, you don't want cookies to be brown on bottoms. Transfer to a wire rack to let cool.

  Cream Cheese Frosting: Combine frosting ingredients together. Beat until thick and creamy. (Warm up in microwave a smidge 10-15 seconds if you want a thinner glaze to spread on top, it will thicken up as it cools.) Frost cookies and sprinkle with your decoration of choice.
