JUST LIKE LOFTHOUSE EASY PINK SUGAR COOKIE FROSTING - COPYCAT
I made the Pound Cake Cookies also listed on this site, which were said to be like Lofthouse cookies. Thus, I wanted a frosting to match and this is what I came up with. It's not an exact match, but I think it is pretty good. It's not really for "decorated" cut out cookies, but more a schmear for plain round ones. Add sprinkles for fun & crunch! (It makes exactly enough to generously frost the large 25 cookies I got from the Pound Cake Cookie recipe.)

Steps:
- Directions are simple-- using a handheld mixer and a small bowl or a food processor with a smaller bowl-- beat all ingredients until well mixed.
- Start slow or you will be covered with powdered sugar. :).
- The consistency should not be too firm, but also not runny. It should hesitatingly drip/plop from your spatula if you scoop up a dollop and hold it over the bowl.
- Use an extra tablespoon of cream, or of powdered sugar to regulate the thickness.
- It is best to ice the cooled cookies with the frosting right after you make it, as it will almost be perfectly smooth when it sets.
- Know that if you put it in the fridge it will firm up to almost twice as hard as it is right after you mix it, and when it is cold you can use the mixer on it again to "fluff it up" for other applications like cupcakes.
- It makes about a cup and a half of frosting.

Tips for Making Lofthouse Frosting:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your frosting the best flavor and texture. Make sure to use unsalted butter, real cream, and pure vanilla extract.
- Soften your butter completely: This will make it easier to mix and will help prevent your frosting from curdling.
- Gradually add your powdered sugar: Adding your powdered sugar all at once can cause your frosting to become thick and clumpy. Add it gradually, mixing well after each addition, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Chill your frosting before using: This will help it to set and make it easier to pipe or spread.
- Flavor your frosting: You can add various flavors to your Lofthouse frosting, such as vanilla, chocolate, almond, or lemon. Simply add 1-2 teaspoons of your desired flavoring to the frosting after it has been mixed.
Conclusion:
Lofthouse frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used to top a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your desired flavor and consistency. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect Lofthouse frosting every time.
