History

This recipe came from my Grandma’s first neighbor.

She was such a close friend of the family, that they called her Aunt Lois.

Aunt Lois

I don’t remember ever meeting Aunt Lois, but her frosting recipe is definitely something I remember as a favorite of mine.

My mom still makes this frosting every Valentine’s Day. And I look forward to when she gives me the beautiful frosted cookies.

Great cookies to use this frosting

You’ve seen me use Aunt Lois’ Frosting in my Polar Bear Paw Print Cookies

and my Animal Cracker Sandwich Cookies

Leftovers

If you have any leftover frosting, you can try it how we used to eat the leftovers.

On Wheat Thins crackers.

I kid you not. They are wonderful. A wheat Thin spread with a sweet layer of Aunt Lois’ Frosting. Perfection!

Sweet and salty. A great snack!

please forgive the really old photo, but this is one I took at a cookie decorating party years ago. We had such a fun time with family decorating, eating, and talking!

Cookie decorating party

We used to do a cookie decorating party every Christmas time.

We would bake up a whole mess of White Christmas Cut Out Cookies, and make up several colors of frosting, each in its own tub.

Then, armed with sprinkles, glitter sugars, and embellishments, everyone would go to town eating, er, I mean decorating their hearts out!

It was so much fun, and a memory I still treasure.

another old shot from a party, but you can see some of the finished cookies! So yummy!

Blue frosting

Oh, and here’s a funny story (yes, I’m telling a story on my own blog about something related to this frosting).

Grandma would only allow the blue frosting to be used for Santa’s eye. No where else were you allowed to use the blue frosting.

It still makes me laugh that when Grandma wasn’t around when we were making cookies, my mom would frost them all with blue!
