  4. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

  6. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until well blended after each addition and scraping sides and bottom of bowl frequently. If the filling is too thick to spread, gradually beat in 1 to 2 teaspoons water.
