Tips:
- To achieve the perfect consistency for your frosting, start by beating the butter until it's light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the frosting, making it smooth and spreadable.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. This will prevent the frosting from becoming lumpy.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk or cream to thin it out. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency.
- For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract for a more complex flavor.
- If you're decorating cookies, chill the frosting for at least 30 minutes before piping it onto the cookies. This will help the frosting set and prevent it from smudging.
