Butter Cream Frosting For Sugar Cookies


Here is a butter cream frosting recipe to go with those sugar cookies you are going to make:

Butter Cream Frosting
1 16-oz box Confectioner's Sugar
1/2 cup salted sweet cream butter (1 stick), softened
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
4 to 6 tbs. of milk


Mix together with hand held mixer or with a fancy shamancy mixer (use the flat beater). Add more milk to make it thinner, more sugar to make it thicker. Note from a frosting expert (my sis): always end with sugar. We just made the recipe as is, and it was fabulous!

This is yummy frosting. My daughter said, "Forget the cookies, let's just eat frosting!"

It makes a ton of frosting. Remember the more food coloring you add, the runnier your frosting will be so add carefully.
