creamy. Notes: The original recipe calls for only 1-3/4 c. powdered sugar. This did not produce a spreading consistency, so I added more powdered sugar. The frosting hardens nicely (no sticky surface) and has an almost marshmallow consistency---no sticky surface but soft inside. The cookies remain soft if not overbaked. Bette Leland ----
