Instructions
-
Beat the softened butter on medium-high speed for 2-minutes until smooth. Turn the mixer to low speed then add the powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides.
-
Add vanilla and salt and turn mixer to medium speed. One tablespoon at a time, add milk. Beat on high for 2-3 minutes until creamy and the frosting is at a good consistency to pipe. If it looks too runny, add more powdered sugar. If it looks too stiff, add a tiny bit of milk until you get to the desired consistency.
-
This will make just enough frosting to fill about 12 cookie sandwiches (2 tablespoons of frosting each) or to pipe a border & add a message to a round cookie cake.

So so good! I could literally sit with a spoon and eat this whole bowl myself. It’s not overly sweet like some of the icing that some places use in their cookie sandwiches. I will definitely make this again!

Super easy and yummy. I made mini cookies to make a bunch of tiny cookie sandwiches and it turned out super cute.
