Combine all ingredients in mixer on low. Then beat well for 1-2 minutes. Frosting will spread easiest right away. Extra frosting can be refrigerated. To decorate gingerbread cookies, place frosting in a ziplock bag and seal tight. Make a small cut on one of the bottom corners and squeeze to design.
