Ingredients
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups Butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0 Food coloring (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and softened butter.
Step 2
Use an electric hand mixer or a whisk to mix until the butter is evenly incorporated into the powdered sugar.
Step 3
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix on low speed until the ingredients come together into a smooth and spreadable frosting.
Step 4
If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached. If it is too thin, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time to thicken.
Step 5
If you wish to use food coloring, divide the frosting into smaller bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl. Stir until the color is evenly distributed.
Step 6
Use the frosting immediately to decorate cookies, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow the refrigerated frosting to come to room temperature and stir before using.
