This creamy frosting is perfect for decorating your sugar cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (114g) salted butter (softened)

- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or milk)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the butter using an electric mixer for 1 minute until smooth.

- Divide the frosting between separate bowls and tint with your chosen colors of food coloring.
- Frost your sugar cookies and enjoy!
Notes
