    Great recipe! Easy to follow and the frosting was exactly what I needed for my sugar cookies.

  • Laurianne Cummerata

    My frosting came out a little too soft, but I think I added too much milk. I will be more careful next time!

  • Erik Yundt

    I found that adding a pinch of salt really balanced the sweetness of the frosting.

  • Dereck Boehm
