Ultimate Chocolate Frosting

This frosting is so delicious! My cousin makes it and puts it on top of brownies and it is so amazing!
It is one of those that is even better if you make it a day before and is best kept in the fridge.

Ultimate Chocolate Frosting
from Gail
1/2 cup butter softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/3 cup canned milk*
1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine all ingredients until they are mixed well.  Spread over cake or brownies and enjoy!  ** It will be a bit runny but will thicken after being refrigerated. 

*I don't always have canned milk on hand so I use 1/4 cup milk instead.
Really good as a substitute frosting for Choco-Mellow Brownies

 So Yummy!!

Creamy Buttery Sugar Cookie Frosting

This year I signed up to bring 2 dozen cookies (NOTE I did say 2) to a school function for Valentines Day.  Well I ended up making about 12 dozen!! It happened to be a day that I was super tired and running on empty.  I totally couldn't remember making that many until the job was completed and I took a  count!! Anyway this is my new favorite frosting recipe!! It is delicious and is perfectly paired with Soft & Chewy Sugar Cookies.  The cookies were gone in no time and everyone loved them!

Creamy Buttery Sugar Cookie Frosting
adapted from Authentic Suburban Gourmet

1 cup butter, softened

2 oz cream cheese, softened

2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 Cups powdered sugar (may need a bit more)
1-3 Tablespoons milk
pinch of salt
Several drops food coloring 

Cream together the butter,cream cheese,vanilla and pinch of salt . Slowly beat in the powdered sugar. Once smooth and creamy, add in the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired spreading consistency is achieved. If you feel it is too runny add some more powdered sugar.  If desired, add food coloring and beat until combined.

Spread on your cookies and decorate with sprinkles or colored sugar!
*The original recipe called for cream instead of milk.  I never have cream on hand.  The milk worked well.

Delicious!
