Steps:
- In the bowl of a standing mixer or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, blend the butter and shortening on low speed. Gradually add about half of the confectioner's sugar. Keep the mixer on low when adding additional ingredients, but you may increase the speed to medium when blending. Blend in the vanilla, salt and four tablespoons of the milk or water. Gradually add the rest of the confectioner's sugar and mix very well until the frosting is smooth. If necessary, add additional milk or water to desired consistency.

SOFT SUGAR COOKIES WITH RASPBERRY FROSTING
In 1994, Lofthouse Cookies hit American grocery store shelves like a frosted meteorite. If you grew up in the suburbs, then you may have had one: soft, cakey, melt-in-your-mouth. Unlike their clamshell counterparts, which contain margarine, these homemade versions are made with butter and cream cheese, both of which add wonderful flavor that margarine alone does not. Be sure to freeze your dough for the full 15 to 20 minutes: Not only does this chill the fat, helping the cookies maintain their shape in the oven later, but it also allows the flour to hydrate and the flavors to concentrate. A relic of childhood shored into the present, these cookies are not unlike the tops of vanilla cupcakes, devoid at last of their dry, frosting-less bottoms. Freeze-dried raspberries lend a welcome tartness to the buttercream, not to mention a plush, candy-pink hue. (Watch Eric Kim make his Soft Sugar Cookies With Raspberry Frosting here.)

Steps:
- Make the cookies: In a large bowl, using a spoon, cream the butter, cream cheese, sugar and salt until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk to incorporate some air and to dissolve the sugar crystals, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and baking powder until just incorporated.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and line two rimmed sheet pans with parchment paper. Using two spoons or a cookie scooper, plop out 2-tablespoon/50-gram rounds spaced a couple of inches apart. (You should get about 7 to 8 cookies per sheet pan.) Place the sheet pans in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky and easier to handle.
- While the dough chills, make the frosting: In a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl, sift the ground raspberries, using a spoon to help pass them through, until most of the ruby-red powder is in the bowl and most of the seeds are left behind in the sieve. (Discard the seeds.)
- To the bowl, add the 1 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt and, with an electric hand mixer, mix on low speed until the butter absorbs the sugar. Then, turn the speed up to high and beat until the frosting doubles in size, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated. Transfer the frosting to a small container, cover tightly, and set aside. (You should have about 2 cups of frosting.)
- Remove the sheet pans from the freezer. Roll the chilled dough into even balls and flatten them slightly with your fingers so they're about 2 inches wide and 1 inch high. Bake the cookies for 13 to 15 minutes, rotating the pans and switching racks halfway through, or until they no longer look wet on top, are still light in color and spring back to the touch. They will puff up and crack slightly. Let cool completely on the sheet pan. (They will continue to cook as they sit.)
- Using a butter knife or offset spatula, frost each cooled cookie with the raspberry frosting and adorn with the sprinkles.
Tips:
- Choose the right frosting: There are many different types of frosting, each with its own unique flavor and texture. Be sure to choose a frosting that will complement the flavor of your cake or cupcakes.
- Make sure your frosting is the right consistency: Frosting that is too thick will be difficult to spread, while frosting that is too thin will be runny and won't hold its shape. The ideal consistency for frosting is somewhere in between.
- Chill your frosting before using it: Chilling your frosting will make it easier to spread and will help it to hold its shape better.
- Use a piping bag or decorating tip to create different designs: Piping bags and decorating tips can be used to create a variety of different designs on your cakes and cupcakes. This is a great way to add a personal touch to your desserts.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to frosting. Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors, colors, and textures to create your own unique frosting recipes.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you'll be able to create delicious and beautiful frosting that will make your cakes and cupcakes the star of the show. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, be sure to give one of these grocery store frosting recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
