This is a great icing recipe that we used for Christmas 07! It was easy for the kids to handle and hardened nicely (just right). It did have to be thinned between uses but that's to be expected doing this with kids! I'm getting ready to do our holiday cookies again and am looking forward to the same great results.

I just made these yesterday. I softened the butter instead of melted it and had no trouble with the cookies being flat. I even left the batter out for a long time and they still cooked fine. I added 1/2 teas. more of vanilla. Next time I think I'm going to try to cut back on the butter by 1/2 cup and maybe use 1/2 brown sugar. I also used White whole wheat and florida crystals. We're making them again for sure...everyone loved them.
