Delicious cookies! I don't know why one reviewer wrote that the cookies tasted like animal fat... unless they used lard. Crisco is made from vegetables!

This recipe would work great as a substitute for pastry cream or merinuge buttercream if you ever run out of egg yolks or whites! A trick for eliminating the gritty sugar taste: boil the sugar with the milk and flour! Boil it for about 15-20 minutes. And definitely make sure it's cool before you add the butter at the end. When it's cool enough, it will look like very thick glue.

I don't usually like regular buttercream. I usually make Swiss meringue buttercream because it's lighter and not as sweet. However, this buttercream frosting is perfect! It's fluffy and not TOO too sweet. I used butter flavored shortening.
