Answer 2

2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk

Mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla and milk. Then add more milk a bit at a time until it is thin enough to drizzle over a cake. Once you've iced your cake, it's best to let it stand for one or two hours.


Thick Vanilla Frosting
1 cup shortening
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
4 tablespoons milk
Beat together shortening and vanilla for 30 seconds medium speed with an electric mixer. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar a bit at a time while beating. Then add 2 tablespoons milk. Slowly add in the rest of the powdered sugar and the rest of the milk until you get the right thickness for your frosting.

Answer 3

The best frosting for sugar cookies is buttercream frosting. This is my recipe.

2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 or 2 tbs. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Blend together and be careful with the milk, as it will thin very fast. I would start with 1 tbs. first, then add the second if necessary.

Good Luck!!

Answer 4

Cream Cheese Frosting-It's the best, it doesn't get "crusty", stays soft.

1-8oz brick cream cheese softened
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Cream together cream cheese and butter. Add powdered sugar and mix on medium speed until well blended. Fold in vanilla. Will frost almost a double batch of a standard recipe for cookies depending on the size you made of them. I did a double batch this weekend and we came up 6 cookies short. Have fun!

Answer 5

This is the easiest homemade icing to make. It's our family's favorite:


Quick and Easy Powdered Sugar Icing

2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk


Mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla and milk. Then add more milk a bit at a time until it is thin enough to drizzle over a cake. Once you've iced your cake, it's best to let it stand for one or two hours.


To make chocolate icing, add two tablespoons cocoa powder when you mix the powdered sugar and follow the rest of the recipe above.
