Eliminate the vanilla if you want white icing. If you want to color the icing black, make a chocolate icing by adding 1-T of baking cocoa with the powdered sugar. This made for a pretty, glossy icing.

The frosting came out delicious! I did add a little bit more milk to thin out frosting. What's nice is that it made a small batch so I didn't waste a bunch of leftover frosting!

I did cut the vanilla in half after reading the other reviews and it worked great. I also had to add a little extra milk to get the texture just right. Excellent icing, really good taste.

Most of the other icing recipes I saw called for eggs and light corn syrup. I liked that this one didn't need either. However, I think this recipe may have called for too much sugar. When I made it, the texture just wasn't right, and I couldn't taste anything but the sugar. The other measurements seemed right and I think I'll try with less sugar. Thanks

I love this recipe but when I made it I think there was a little bit to much sugar so it was kind of grainy. But every thing was good i had it on the best sugar cookies111 well thank you!

I used this icing with "The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies" recipe submitted by Jill Saunders. It was a perfect combination! They looked beautiful, tasted great and everyone thought they were from a bakery!

Delicious! I used the full amount of high quality vanilla and everyone seemed to like it. I didn't like the brown color however. It made it tough to get the colors I wanted with my food coloring. I may use clear vanilla next time.

I also used cream cheese in place of the butter after reading the other reviews and playing around with the recipe. It doesn't taste like cream cheese. And, has a little nicer consistency. I don't like real sweet frosting. So, used 1/4 c. of flour in place of 1/4 c. of the powd. sugar. After I made this recipe a few times this Christmas, playing with the ingredients, I ended up being pleased wih the real vanilla (with about 1 3/4 tsp. clear van.), almond and then tried the cherry flavoring. All three were huge hits and set up very nicely and shiny within 2-3 hours. Of course it is winter and the dry heat probably helps. After changes, this is my new cookie frosting recipe. With them, the frosting tastes as good as the not too sweet sugar cookies I put it on.

this worked, but to me it tasted like liquid sugar. Maybe next time i'll find one with cream cheese in it.

This is really good. I used 2 tablespoons of butter and about one tablespoon of cream cheese. I also threw in a teaspoon or so of marshmallow fluff. It was smooth and creamy, yet hardened just enough to coat my sugar cookies well. I used it on the Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies on this site.

I would have given this a five star if it weren't for needing to adjust a couple of things. Primarily, definitely one teaspoon is plenty of vanilla extract. I followed the suggestion to substitute butter for cream cheese and I wouldn't make it any other way. With the substitutions, I would give it five stars.

I made this frosting with butter and I only used 1 tsp vanilla. It was way to thick so I thinned it out with a little more milk. My kids loved it. This reminded me of the frosting my mom used to make when I was growing up.

1 tsp instead of 1 Tablespoon of vanilla is the answer! With the switch the recipe is a success.

this recipe was great except we changed the amount of the vanilla. That's way to much vanilla. We also changed the recipe to one of the viewers, changed out the butter to cream cheese and vanilla to almond extract. We used only 1 teaspoon of almond extract and tripled the recipe. One teaspoon was perfect for all of that. Thanks.

I listened to what everyone was saying about there being too much vanilla and I cut it back to 1 teaspoon. It was very good then. You do have to be careful when you use this type of icing because it is soft and creamy. Not the most convenient for tons of sugar cookies because of this. I will make it again.
