I have some leftover lemon buttercream frosting. I'd rather use it up instead of letting it sit in the freezer for a few months. Could I make butter or sugar cookies and frost them with it? I've heard of people icing cookies with buttercream but I've never had a cookie iced with anything at all so I don't know if this buttercream used for frosting cakes is the same as the kind used for icing cookies.
Or should I just wait until the next cake and use the buttercream for that?

I love lemon buttercream and I think it would taste good on top of spice cookies..the soft cakey kind.
If you have some left over cake crumbs you could make cake balls..if you do a search on CC there are plenty of recipes for that.

You can easily frost cookies with BC. They taste wonderful, however you can't really package them or stack them up like you can with cookies frosted in Royal. So it really just depends on what you plan to do with the cookies when your done. icon_biggrin.gif

mmmm, lemon buttercream on sugar or cream cheese cookies sounds wonderful! As said before though, you won't be able to stack them.

You can stack cookies that are frosted in bc. I let my cookies sit over night and when I get up in the morning, they are ready to be stacked, bagged, or whatever you need to or want to do with them. You just need to let the bc get hard and they will be just fine!
