Cookie Frosting
Delicious Cookie Frosting Recipe
My mother used this frosting recipe when I was growing up, and I have yet to find a more delicious cookie frosting. Nearly everyone who has tasted this has requested the recipe. This frosting is especially great on butter cookies.
The flavor can easily be modified by using various flavoring extracts. My favorite combination is half vanilla extract and half almond extract.
Keep this delicious frosting recipe on hand to use year-round.
See the link below this recipe for a mouth-watering butter cookie recipe that goes great with this frosting.
