This is the frosting I like to use for my soft sugar cookies, "Kathy's Soft Sugar Cookies". It uses heavy whipping cream and I like to add green or red food coloring to it when I make the cookies for Christmas. It should make enough to frost about 4-5 dozen cookies, depending on how thick of layer you use on each cookie and how big the cookies are.

5 dozen (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract
1/4 cup whipping cream
green food coloring (optional)
red food coloring (optional)

Directions

1
In mixing bowl, combine butter, confectioners' sugar, extract and enough cream to achieve spreading consistency.
2
Add food coloring, if desired.
3
Frost cookies.

I LOVED this recipe! I have always just threw a little of this and that together and somehow always thought cream cheese would make the best frosting. This is so perfect for suar cookies! Yay and thank you!

Very good frosting. It was fluffy and still dried, so the cookies could be stored. We used vanilla extract and heavy cream instead of whipping cream as they is all we had. I will use this recipe again.
