Sugar Cookie Buttercream Frosting image

This is by far the best frosting I've ever used on my sugar cookies for the holidays. So easy, but the frosting is always the star!

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 c butter, softened (no substitutions)
6 c powdered sugar (approximately)
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
2 tsp almond extract
food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Beat together the butter and extracts. Start adding in the powdered sugar a little at a time, beating after each addition until you get the desired texture. (if you add too much sugar, a little milk can be added)
  • 2. If desired, add food coloring and blend well. Split frosting into different bowls to make a variety of colors, or just keep it a clean white.
  • 3. Apply how you would like to, either with a spatula or a piping bag. If you don't have a piping bag, but would like the effect, clip a small corner off a ziploc bag to use as a piping bag. Don't use generic bags for this, though, as it could burst open at the seam.
