- Add the heavy cream, vanilla and salt. Blend on high speed for 3 minutes. The frosting should be light and airy.Note: For a more sturdy frosting, add more powdered sugar a little at a time until the frosting thickens. This will make it more dense and easier to pack and transport if needed.

- Spread onto cookies that have been cooled to room temp.Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- This makes about 3 cups of frosting.
- Frosts about 24-36 standard cookies.
- Can be kept in the fridge for up to five days.
- For a more sturdy frosting, add more powdered sugar, to taste, until you reach the consistency you are looking for.
