ReplyDeleteSugar Cookie Frosting
**This is my basic, go-to sugar cookie frosting (aside from sneakily buying it in a can sometimes) and it is delicious - in a sugar cookie frosting way.**
1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt
4 cups powdered sugar
4-6 tablespoons milk
food coloring (if desired)
Combine butter, vanilla and salt and beat until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar in 1-2 cup increments until combined. Add milk and food coloring gradually until you reach your desired spreading consistency.
