Instructions

Make the frosting by creaming together the coconut cream, palm shortening, and honey. Thoroughly break up the coconut cream and stir until a soft and creamy frosting is formed. Add the 1/2 tsp of the coloring (matcha powder or pomegranate juice) at a time, and stir. Adjust the amount of coloring until you reach your desired taste and color.
Once the sugar cookies (you should have enough to decorate about 2 batches) are fully cooled, frost with the frosting and your choice and decorate as desired!

Notes

This recipe makes green and pink frosting. To make yellow frosting, use 1/2- 1 tsp turmeric powder!
