I just made these for my sugar cookies. It tastes good out of the bowl. I cant wait to see how it will taste on the cookies. Definitely a keeper!

Made this as directed except I substituted 2t almond extract for the 1T vanilla and it had great flavor. Plus, the frosting hardened just enough to stack the cookies safely, but didn't become rock hard. Great recipe - thanks!

good standard recipe, USE CLEAR VANILLA EXTRACT so it doesn't discolor the icing... not so much milk too

This was a wonderfully simple icing recipe. Instead of using the full tablespoon of vanilla I used just 1 tsp of almond flavoring and it turned out great, especially when paired with the cream cheese sugar cookies recipe from this site. Add a few drops of different colors, spoon into a ziploc baggie and I was good to go. After about 2-3 hours the icing hardened enough to stack the cookies.

this recipe was really good when i substituted the butter for cream cheese as other people suggested. i used strawberry cream cheese for an amazing strawberry icing that was delicious!

Delicious. I made this for sugar cookies for our cookie swap this year and the icing dried to allow me to over lap them on the tray without sticking, yet it didnt get hard and yucky. Super simple too...

Good recipe but you have to modify it so I gave it less stars. I use heavy cream instead of milk and Disaronno liquor (mild almond flavor and not so dark in color) instead of the vanilla. The flavor is more delicate and allows you be able to taste the butter because why hide a good flavor? Butter tastes good.

Great recipe! It dries firm but not rock-like. The amount of vanilla was perfect flavor-wise, but it made the icing itself tan. It wasn't so dark that it couldn't be covered with food coloring, though.

Perfect! I have to admit..when I first made this recipe I was concerned that the icing wouldn't harden. This actually ended up helping the kids have time to work with their masterpieces (I've had some icings harden before you can really decorate!). This recipe has a great flavor and is perfect with "The Best Rolled Sugar Cookie" recipe!

I modified this icing a bit when I read other reviews saying there was too much vanilla. I but a teaspoon in, but that still was way too much. I would try another recipe.
