Decorator's Frosting | Cookie Recipes

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk
OR
2 tablespoons half-and-half
Food coloring, if desired
Stir together 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 2
tablespoons milk or half-and-half until smooth and spreadable. This
recipe makes enough to frost 3 to 5 dozen cookies. Add more milk for
a thinner frosting or to create a glaze. Frosting can be tinted with food
color. Stir in liquid food color, 1 drop at a time, until frosting is the
desired color. If intense, vivid frosting color is desired, use paste food
color. Why? Because you would have to use too much liquid color to
get vivid color, and using too much liquid color will break down the
frosting, causing it to separate and look curdled.
