I love this frosting recipe! I usually have all that on hand and it's so easy and yummy. The only thing I may do next time is shift the powdered sugar, may do. This one is a keeper!!

This is the perfect frosting for sugar cookies! I also like to add a little more vanilla, also its fun to add a little marshmallow cream to taste.(too much can make it a little too sweet, but use your judgement.) People can really taste the difference when I add a little marshmallow cream. They say, "what did you do? This is AMAZING!!" It is just something worth trying to mix it up a bit. This is a great basic frosting recipe though.

I use this all the time. I make it with 1/3 c crisco & 1/3 c margarine instead of 2/3 c butter. It tastes great & dries hard enough for stacking (at least it does the way I make it).

Tastes wonderful. I used this to write Happy Birthday on cake and to decorate edges. Instead of vanilla extract I used strawberry because it went with the cake. No complaints...

I made this recipe to decorate a chocolate chip cookie cake. I added a bit of almond extract for flavor, and teal food coloring instead :) Worked out great, and tastes good!

Excllent recipe. Just like my Mom always made except she melted the butter so the frosting was more of a glaze. Easy and delicious and perfect for cookies.

I used a full teaspoon of almond extract instead of the vanilla extract (that's the way my mom makes cookie frosting), but I followed the recipe exactly otherwise. I beat it until it was very light and fluffy, and I added some red food coloring paste--it really turned out a lovely shade of pink for my Valentine's heart cookies. It turned hard enough to stack them. Great texture, color, and flavor, and it spread really nicely. Will use this from now on.

This recipe is fantastic! It is perfect for decorating cakes, cupcakes & I just used it for decorating a big cookie cake for my daughters birthday! It spreads nice and pipes out of a decorator bag perfectly as well. I didn't make any alterations to the recipe ... just beat it within an inch of its life with the mixer. No more expensive pre-made decorator frosting for me!

Turned out great! Was not runny at all, had a great flavor, and went very well with a more floury-tasting cookie. Reminds me of the frosting from Lofthouse brand cookies.

My daughter and I used this recipe to decorate my almond butter cookies for Christmas. This was a perfect compliment to them. I added a little of both vanilla and almond extract and it tasted just like the frosting I remember my mother making. Thank you for the recipe, I'll be using this for all of my cut out cookies from now on.

I made this frosting yesterday to go with the Best Rolled Sugar Cookie recipe from this site. I didn't like the taste of the frosting. It was too rich for me, but bland at the same time. I used vanilla to flavor it. I also had to add a lot more liquid than the recipe called for to make it spreadable. After that, it spread fine, but as I said, the taste was too much for me.

I need to add a little water to it because it was so pasty and wouldnt stick to the cookies. It did dry beautiful and the color was great. People were impressed.
