It was very flavorable and it turned nice and hard. I used it to fill in between sugar cookies and also to decorate cookies. It was very good!

Worked great with the Soft Christmas Cookies recipe I used for Valentine's Day heart cookies. I sprinkled pink sugar on top of the pink frosting (it's not going to be red) for extra fun and sweetness.

This frosting was perfect for the heart-shaped cookies I made for Valentine's Day! I substituted almond extract for the vanilla extract, since I love almond flavor. I also colored the frosting purple instead of red. Yummy!

I had never made a homemade frosting for my sugar cookies before. I expected with a name like "Decorator frosting that it would be close to a royal icing or stiffer.It is not. This recipe was very good.I halfed the recipe and there was plenty to frost 3 doz. 4" heart shaped cookies. The texture was creamy smooth and not greasy or gritty. I added 1/4 teaspoon of imitation vanilla butter nut flavoring. It added a tiny bit of color and a nice flavor. My husband and two toddlers love them.Thanks!

I had 4 small ones at my house this afternoon and we decided to decorate sugar cookies with this frosting. I've used this recipe several times since I first tried it and have always had good results. The texture is smooth and creamy. I've used red and yellow coloring and they've both turned out beautifully. Highly recommend!! Thanks P. Oakes

I have used this recipe several times with a few changes. I use 1/2 shortening and 1/2 margerine and also add almond extract instead of vanilla. Use this on "Best Ever Rolled Sugar Cookies" for a wonderful treat. After frosting each cookie try dipping your frosting spatula in cold water and gently running it over the top of the frosting. This will give your cookie a shiny finish. Be careful not to wet it too much or you may end up with soggy cookies! Or gently pat it with a paper towel for a textured look.

This is a great frosting! We decorated our sugar cookies for "Santa" with this, I also used red, white & green. This is a pretty universal frosting, I'll use it for other things as well, (although my 11 year old son has pretty much not stopped talking since he's eaten 3 cookies... sugar buzz)! Thanks P.

This frosting was like the kind that is on the cookies that the supermarkets sell around the holidays. Very easy to spread. Tasted GREAT on the Pink Icing Cookies (Submitted by: Lisa Tomshack). We used green food coloring for Christmas.

I LIKE THIS RECIPE. I USE IT A LOT WITH THE BEST EVER ROLLED SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE. I DO NOT ADD THE RED FOOD COLORING, I MAKE WHATEVER COLORS I WILL BE NEEDING, AND I ALWAYS ADD EXTRA VANILLA.

We usually make butter cookies for the holidays that we decorate w/ colorful royal icing. This recipe did not mix well w/ food coloring, and in the end, had subtle white streaks through it. I've found that there are less ingredients in the recipe for Royal Icing, and that food coloring mixes in well to give you a smooth, uniform color, with the same sweet result as this frosting. I'm switching back to Royal Icing.

Worked wonderful for decorating our Easter cookies. I did add an extra tablespoon of milk so it would come out of the pastry bag easier. Thanks

The butter needs to be melted, not just softened. I used this icing with tips and bags and it worked very well to make pretty cookies. It was great!

This was SO easy and so tasty. I used chocolate milk to add a bit of flavor and color because I didn't use the food coloring. I wanted that color because this worked AWESOME to make the laces on the brownie football recipe. VERY good!
