- 1 c butter (2 sticks)
- 1 T vanilla yes, a Tablespoon
- 4 c powdered sugar
- 1-2 T milk
Beat softened butter and vanilla until creamy and fully combined.
Add powdered sugar, a little at a time, and continue beating with mixer.
Add small amounts of milk until frosting is desired consistency - thick enough to hold its shape and thin enough to flow through a piping bag.
Divide into multiple storage bowls and color as desired. Load into pastry bags and add designs to your colorful holiday cookies.
