Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter (, softened)
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 to 1/2 cup whole milk ((see note))
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Food gel coloring (, optional)
Sprinkles (, optional)
Plain cooled sugar cookies (, for decorating)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the butter, shortening, powdered sugar, 1/4 cup milk, the vanilla extract and almond extract with an electric hand mixer. Add a bit more milk at a time, if needed, until it's the desired consistency - it should be thick, but spreadable.
  • If coloring the frosting with different colors, divide into bowls and color as desired at this point.
  • Spread on top of cookies with a dull knife or transfer to a piping bag.
  • Top with sprinkles , if desired (they need to be added right away before the frosting sets.)
