Instructions

Beat butter for 3 minutes until pale in color.
Add in powdered sugar, milk and vanilla beans. Beat for an additional 3 minutes until fluffy. Add food coloring if desired.
Add sprinkles immediately after frosting the cookies. ENJOY.

Notes

Spread or pipe frosting onto sugar cookies. If piping, you may need to add a little more milk (closer to the 1/2 cup), if spreading, use closer to the 1/4 cup.
Allow cookies to set with frosting. Stack between layers of parchment paper to set.
Frosted cookies can be frozen for up to 30 days. Thaw in refrigerator overnight.
I use Americolor food coloring for deep lovely colors.
