Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups unsalted butter softened
  • 6 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4-1/2 cup milk
  • 1-2 Vanilla Beans scrape out seeds
  • Sprinkles food coloring, for decoration

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Beat butter for 3 minutes until pale in color.
  2. Add in powdered sugar, milk and vanilla beans. Beat for an additional 3 minutes until fluffy. Add food coloring if desired.
  3. 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.
  • See blog post for more recipe tips and tricks.
