Bake for 14-16 minutes. Cookie edges will just be golden brown. Cool completely and frost, if desired, with additional 1/4 cup Whip It Up™ mixed with 1 Tablespoon water to make a frosting. Brush frosting on cookies thinly and let dry for an hour or... To fast dry the frosting, place a fan on them for 15 -20 minutes.
For naturally colored frostings, replace the water as follows: Use strawberry or beet juice in place of water (for pink or red) and spinach or other green veggie juice in place of water (for green) or blueberry juice in place of water (for blue).
Store cookies at room temperature for a day, then keep them chilled. For maximum freshness freeze cookies, tightly sealed for up to 2 months. They defrost quickly and taste just like fresh made. Enjoy!
