    Cup of Yum
  1. In mixing bowl cream together butter and milk with an electric mixer. Slowly mix in powdered sugar and extracts.
  2. Frost sugar cookies immediately. Let frosting harden. Store cookies in air tight container.

Notes

  • If frosting in mixing bowl starts to harden before you are done frosting cookies add a little milk and stir to combine.
  • I measured out how many cups are in 2 lbs of powdered sugar and it is about 8 c.
  • If the butter and milk doesn't perfectly cream together that's fine. Just start adding the powdered sugar and it will start to cream together!
