Finally found the taste of my youth. As a child my mother only made one frosting be it for cookies or cakes and this is it. So easy and delicious. Also very easy to customize. I used less milk to intentionally stiffen it up and I used it as a filling between 2 sugar cookies. Everyone was amazed how good the cookies were but credited the filling for their success. Thank you Betty!
Taste great a little too sweet but it came out brown because of the vanilla extract something to keep in mind for aesthetic reasonsI cut the recipe in half for a half batch of cupcakes. Added 2TB of unsweetened baking coco and 1TB instant espresso coffee. VERY good. (I don’t like things overly sweet, so my additions toned down the sweetness a bit. Just a personal preference.)The children and adults in my storytime just loved the taste and smoothness of this icing
Ingredients:
