Sugar Cookie Frosting Recipe

by Wendy

I know your website is about cupcakes but I just have to share my sugar cookie frosting recipe. It is great with cookies but I have also frosted some cupcakes with it and I think it is much, much better than royal icing.

This recipe is really suitable to color with food coloring and I have also added flavors to match my cakes and cookies.

I hope you like it.

4 cups confectioners' (icing)sugar
4oz (125g) butter
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a large bowl, cream together the confectioners' sugar and butter with an electric mixer until smooth.

Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla and beat until smooth and stiff, approx 5 minutes.

Stir in food coloring and flavorings, if using.




Hi Wendy

Thanks so much for sharing your sugar cookie frosting recipe.

Although my recipe is about cupcakes I would love to add your frosting recipe. I have a recipe for sugar cookies so this frosting would be great to use.

Thanks again for sending in your recipe.
