CREAMY VANILLA FROSTING
This is the recipe that I use for the Cut out frosted butter cookies. This recipe is also in the Best Foods of Christmas cookbook. I always double this recipe so we have plenty of frosting to go around for everyone to decorate. I also divide the frosting into thirds. I'll take one bowl of frosting and add red food coloring to make it pink and add peppermint extract. In another bowl of frosting I'll add green food coloring for green frosting. In the other bowl of frosting I keep it white for white frosting. YEAH now for the FUN part.

Steps:

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect consistency for your frosting, make sure the butter is at room temperature and the heavy cream is cold. This will help the frosting whip up light and fluffy.
- For a richer flavor, use real vanilla extract instead of imitation. You can also add a touch of almond or lemon extract for a unique twist.
- If you want a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner frosting, add more heavy cream.
- To decorate your cakes or cupcakes, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip. You can also use a spoon or knife to spread the frosting.
- Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
