This is so delicious! I needed something quick to top some strudel and this worked great. I didn't have a problem with it hardening, but I used a little less sugar than it called for and a little more vanilla. Now I want to try it on the cookies! :)

This icing is great if you need something that dries quickly so you can stack cookies on top of each other.

After reading the other reviews, I made this a little differently. I mixed the melted butter and powdered sugar in the food processor, then I poured the vanilla and hot milk (instead of hot water) through the top until it was all blended. The consistency was much smoother, and it was easy to spread and very pretty on top of cookies. The icing still dries nicely, but you will have more time to work with it if you use milk. Delicious on the Mississippi Tea Cakes!

This icing has a good flavor, but I did encounter one problem with it. It spread easily on the first four cookies, but then started hardening up quickly. It became difficult to spread and didn't look as nice as the first ones. The cookies in the photo I submitted were among the first ones iced. I did try adding a little more hot water, but could not gain back the smooth consistency.

When making this icing and the sour cream cookies try using almond extract instead of vanilla. Makes a much different flavor.

This started out fantastic. Then, I went downstairs to get my coloring gel, came back up, added a touch more hot water to thin, and it turned into a disaster. I tried adding more hot water, but it was separating. I tried adding more powdered sugar, but it didn't help. May be fantastic if you want your icing really thick. Will not make again, but thank you for sharing the recipe!

I was so impressed with how this turned out, given how simple the ingredients were. I swapped out coconut extract for vanilla and it was delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

Wonderful buttery taste. It was a bit thin, though. But, then again, that could have been my fault. I will definately try this again.

This icing is wonderful on Mississippi Tea Cakes, a combination which is almost TOO GOOD if you love old-fashioned, soft sugar cookies!! It also lends itself well to food coloring to make the cookies festive for special occasions.
