Ingredients
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted powdered sugar and softened unsalted butter.
Add the whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl.
Using an electric mixer on low speed, mix the ingredients until they start to come together.
Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat the frosting until smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
If the frosting is too thick for decorating, add milk one teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
If the frosting is too thin, add additional powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time until it thickens.
Transfer the frosting to piping bags or use a spatula to decorate your sugar cookies as desired.
