Best 6 Sugar Cookie Frosting Recipes

SUGAR COOKIE CUPS WITH COCONUT BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Scoop up 2 teaspoons of cookie dough and roll into a ball. Place the ball in the prepared tin. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
• Dip the bottom of a shot glass in flour and use to press each ball of dough into a cup shape; the top of each cup should be about 1/4 inch below the rim of the tin.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Press again with the shot glass to reinforce the cup shape. Continue baking cookie cups until very lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer carefully to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Beat butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, until well blended. Add coconut milk and coconut extract; beat at high speed until frosting is light and fluffy. Add 1 tablespoon coconut milk if frosting is too thick.
• Spoon or pipe frosting into each cookie cup. Decorate with colored sugar, candy sprinkles, and shredded coconut.

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.

SUGAR COOKIE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• 1. Beat together the butter and extracts. Start adding in the powdered sugar a little at a time, beating after each addition until you get the desired texture. (if you add too much sugar, a little milk can be added)
• 2. If desired, add food coloring and blend well. Split frosting into different bowls to make a variety of colors, or just keep it a clean white.
• 3. Apply how you would like to, either with a spatula or a piping bag. If you don't have a piping bag, but would like the effect, clip a small corner off a ziploc bag to use as a piping bag. Don't use generic bags for this, though, as it could burst open at the seam.

• Add vanilla.

• Original directions say to divide batter into 12 cupcakes, I got 14 and they were all filled well.
• Bake 18 to 20 minute If you are new to baking with your oven check them at 16 minute Mine were done in 18. I checked mine with a toothpick, needs to come out clean.
• Cool cupcakes.
• To make frosting, allow both the butter and cream cheese to come to room temperature. If it is a hot day don't let them get too warm.
• Cream the butter and cream cheese for at least 3 minute You should NOT be able to tell that you have 2 ingredients in the bowl. You want a light yellow color with a fluffy look.
• Add powdered sugar one cup at a time, incorporating well. Don't forget to scrape the bowl frequently! :).
• Add vanilla and 2 tablespoons of half and half. Check consistency for frosting, add more half and half until you are happy with the thickness of your frosting.
• Frost and enjoy.
