Servings: 2 Cups
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 teaspoon Almond Extract
- 3 Cups Powdered Sugar
- 5 tablespoon Whole Milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the room temperature butter and almond extract. With an electric mixer, beat on high for 2-3 minutes until light, airy, and smooth.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar in thirds and beat on medium speed with your mixer in between each addition. Once all of the sugar has been mixed, it will be a dry and crumbly mixture.
- Add the milk 1-2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high each time. Once the mixture starts to smooth out like frosting, turn up the mixer to high and beat for 2-3 minutes to whip up the icing. It will be done when it's almost white, smooth, and easily spreadable.
- Frost your cooled cookies with an icing knife or a piping bag. The frosting will slightly crust over as it dries.
Notes
*Decorating Tip: Place the cookies on parchment paper on a cookie sheet to decorate. This gives them a nice flat surface to dry and can be easily moved out of the way!
