Sugar Cookie Frosting

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Put down the can and make your own Sugar Cookie Frosting from scratch! Made with vanilla beans for a rich flavor, this frosting adds the finishing touch to all your favorite holiday sugar cookies.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼-½ cup milk
  • 1 or 2 vanilla beans (scrape out seeds)
  • sprinkles, food coloring, for decoration

Instructions

    1. Beat butter for 3 minutes until pale in color.
    2. Add in powdered sugar, milk and vanilla beans. Beat for an additional 3 minutes until fluffy. Add food coloring if desired.
    3. Add sprinkles immediately after frosting the cookies. ENJOY.

Notes

  • Spread or pipe frosting onto sugar cookies. If piping, you may need to add a little more milk (closer to the ½ cup), if spreading, use closer to the ¼ cup.
  • Allow cookies to set with frosting. Stack between layers of parchment paper to set.
  • Frosted cookies can be frozen for up to 30 days. Thaw in refrigerator overnight.
  • I use Americolor food coloring for deep lovely colors.
