AWESOME SOUR CREAM SUGAR COOKIES WITH HOMEMADE ICING
This recipe was passed down through the generations from my Great Grandmother. It has been a tradition in our family to make them every Christmas and it becomes an all-day event where we make cookies all morning and decorate them all afternoon. The recipe is pretty simple and the most time-consuming part of the process is decorating, especially when you're in my family and it becomes an artistic competition!

- Use remaining butter, almond, evap.milk mixture to freshen up the icing as it hardens over time. Re-heat the mixture in the microwave before adding to the icing. Add to the icing a few drops at a time until the icing becomes spreadable again. You may have to add more food coloring to freshen up the color.
- Use sprinkles, candy, and a lot of imagination to decorate cookies.
- Lay decorated cookies on wax paper to dry, it will take icing about 2 hours to firm onto cookie but once dry you can store them in an airtight container.

BANANA CAKE WITH HOMEMADE PUDDING ICING
This cake does not last long in our house. In truth I think it's the icing that makes the cake, but the moist cake is fabulous too. It freezes great as well.

Steps:
- Add together and blend well with mixer.
- Place in refrigerator until ready to put on any cake desired.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your icing will depend on the quality of your ingredients. Use fresh butter, cream cheese, and milk.
- Beat the butter or cream cheese until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the icing, making it smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the sugar: Adding the sugar all at once can cause the icing to become grainy. Add it gradually, beating well after each addition.
- Use a variety of flavors: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You can add vanilla, chocolate, almond, or even fruit extracts to your icing.
- Color the icing: You can use food coloring to color your icing any color you like. Just add a few drops of food coloring at a time, until you reach the desired color.
- Store the icing properly: Icing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze icing for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
With these tips, you can make delicious homemade icing that will make your cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts even more special. So get creative and have fun!
