Made this for christmas cookies. It dried well which is what I was wanting it to do.

I won't be making this again, purely because of the taste. It whipped up nicely, frosted nicely, and hardened properly for transporting cookies, but just didn't taste very good. Also, I used gel food coloring, and it seperated after awhile, which usually doesn't happen. I suspect that it was because of the shortening, rather than using butter as I usually do.

This was not a hit with our family. The shortening not only adds a yuck flavor, but a greasy after taste. We used these on Santas cookies and nobody wanted to eat them.....including Santa :( Next time I'll stick to using my recipe with real butter.

I did not care for this recipe. It separated and I did not care for the taste.

This was my first attempt at making sugar cookies and frosting them, and I was very pleased with the results. The only thing I did differently was that I used 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon of pure almond extract. (I did this because the vanilla I have was purchased during a trip in the Caribbean and it is so strong, it tends to overpower any frostings I've tried to make.) The almond added a very nice balance. At first I wasn't thrilled with the frosting when I tasted it on a freshly frosted cookie, but the next day when it had set for 24 hours and hardened, I liked the taste/texture much better. I made this frosting for The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies by Jill Saunders. A friend of mine tried one and said, "Sugar cookies are my absolute favorite cookies....and these are some pretty kick a** sugar cookies." Definitely will make again someday!
