How to Make Frosting For Sugar Cookies
- In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add 1 tablespoon heavy cream and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in a few drops of food coloring. The color will lighten as you add more ingredients, so start with a slightly darker shade than desired.
- Gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream, then 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Beat well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Continue alternating between adding cream (1-2 tablespoons at a time) and powdered sugar (1/2 cup at a time), beating until all ingredients are combined and the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
- If needed, stir in additional heavy cream for a thinner consistency or powdered sugar for a thicker consistency.
- Adjust the amount of cream and powdered sugar to achieve your preferred frosting consistency – thick, thin, or somewhere in between!
- Spread the frosting evenly onto your cooled sugar cookies.
- For best results, add candy sprinkles to each cookie immediately after frosting.
