Cream Cheese Frosting

1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 3 oz package cream cheese
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
Beat until smooth and fluffy, Frost cookies and serve

My personal opinion is that anything with cream cheese frosting is great. These cookies are a wonderful choice if you need and easy cookie to take to the local church pot luck or school function. The carrot adds a nice sweet taste with the zucchini adding moisture. The nutritional value of these little gems is far better then many cookie recipes so if you are trying to get some vegetables into your families diet why not try these but don't let them know .
