Butter Cream Cookie Frosting( From Scratch)

Christmas cookie frosting seems like it would be hard to do, but I found its one of the easiest things going.

Ingredients:

3 cups Powdered sugar
1/2 cup Butter softened
1/4 cup of milk or less

If you have a mixer start with 1 cup of sugar and the butter and beat well until mixture gets crumbly, then add milk slowly and sugar until all sugar is added and the whole mixture is creamy. If you are mixing by hand I would start with milk and sugar and combine milk slowly until it becomes creamy then mix in butter. You can always add more powdered sugar until you get to a nice smooth mixture. When you get the frosting smooth add food coloring to multiple small dishes of frosting. This frosting keeps in a covered container in the fridge for over 1 week. This same butter cream frosting can be used to frost brownies, cakes, and molasses cookies.
