Bake for 9-11 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for 5 mins then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Make Frosting

Cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Add a splash of milk if needed to make the frosting more pipeable.

Assembly

Place the frosting in a piping bag or ziplock bag with the corner snipped off and then pipe frosting along the tops of each cookie.
If desired, you can break up one (or a portion of one) of the cookies into crumbs and sprinkle cookie crumbs overtop of the frosting.

Notes
