Great recipe! I tinted the frosting orange and decorated sugar cookies for Halloween! Worked great! Icing got hard enough to stack without messing up the decoration. Will use again for Christmas Cookies!!!

I used to decorate my cookies with royal icing but this is 100 times better! It was easy to work with, took color well, and tastes delicious!

This is absolutely fantastic. I will NEVER again buy frosting with Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate!

I made this frosting to go with the "Best Rolled Out Sugar Cookies" from this site. Both turned out really tasty. I made this frosting exactly how the recipe said and the consistency and the flavor was perfect. Good recipe!

Delicious! I put this frosting on the easy sugar cookie recipe from this site and it is so wondeful! Dyed the frosting pink for Valentine's day and put on heart shaped sugar cookies and purple for my grandmother's bday and put on butterfly sugar cookies! I love it and will keep using it!

Great recipe. It was pretty easy to make and the consistency was great. The frosting spread easily on my cookies and turned a bit harder when they dried but just enough to hold my decorations together.

This recipe was nice because it not only blended well, it was just the right viscocity to do some creating decorating. Not too thin. Kudos!

This was too sweet for my liking... Cut the amt of sugar down to 3 1/2 Cups yet it was way toooooo sweet! Otherwise, consistency and all were great!

I found this recipe to be extremely sweet - it might be worth playing around with the amount of sugar.

As written, this frosting recipe is far too sweet. Even my eight year old nephew found the amount of sugar overwhelimg. I cut the sweetness with about 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, which helped enormously. The spreading consistency is good and makes it easy for the kids to decorate cookies with.

We really liked this icing. It's a lot like the icing that my Mother made years ago. Only she added a bit of cream of tartar. This recipe is easy to work with as well. If you want to change the taste for something a little different try adding a little vanilla, or almond extract, even lemon extract. For a few ideas. Thanks for sharing with us!

I used this recipe to decorate some sugar cookies, and I was really happy with the results. I use my Grandma's recipes for frosting normally, but I was in the mood to try something different. The only change I made was to add a few drops of almond extract to the mix as I do with most of my icing. Thanks for sharing!

This recipe did not turn out AT ALL! There is TOO much butter in the recipe and that's all it tasted like, even after adding the Vanilla Extract. It was too grainy as well, i don't see how people can compare it to Duncan Hines. Yuck.

The taste and texture were great. I found if you use 1 tsp each of Wilton Butter flavor and Clear Vanilla Extract instead of butter and regular vanilla extract, you get a nice white icing which you can then use any food coloring to expand your decoration needs.

This was a very user-friendly frosting for sugar cookies. It was tasty, easy to spread and stayed delicious for the two days my cookies lasted! It's very sweet (as it should be!) - so you don't need a ton of it on each cookie .
