Homemade Sugar Cookie Frosting that Hardens
Description
Homemade Sugar Cookie Frosting that Hardens uses simple ingredients like softened butter, milk, and powdered sugar combined with vanilla and almond extracts to produce a frosting that dries to a firm texture on sugar cookies. The mixture starts by creaming butter and milk, then gradually adding powdered sugar to reach a spreadable but thick consistency. Once applied, the frosting hardens, allowing for neat cookie stacking or decorating. The almond extract adds a gentle nutty aroma complementing the vanilla's sweetness.
The texture sets as it dries, so timing is important to apply it before firming begins. The frosting stores well on cookies in airtight containers, maintaining its set texture. This icing is versatile for occasions needing decorated sugar cookies with a clean finish.
Ingredients
- 2/3 c. butter softened
- 1/2 c. milk
- 2 lbs powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
Instructions
- In mixing bowl cream together butter and milk with an electric mixer. Slowly mix in powdered sugar and extracts.
- Frost sugar cookies immediately. Let frosting harden. Store cookies in air tight container.
Notes
- If the frosting thickens before all cookies are frosted, stir in a small amount of milk to loosen it.
- Approximately 2 pounds of powdered sugar equals about 8 cups, useful for measuring purposes.
- If the butter and milk don’t combine smoothly at first, add powdered sugar gradually to help them cream together.
