I have a hard time with icing . Mine usually is lumpy and separates however this recipe was smooth and velvety . I loved it
This may sound crazy, but I am not typically a fan of homemade frosting prepared with confectioners' sugar. Perhaps it's too sweet or gritty or something. This recipes is an exception. It's wonderful. I suspect the butter has something to do with why I like it so much! It's very easy to make and is just the right amount for 2 dozen cookies.
This recipe is marvelous! I made it to go along with Martha's Surprise Cookies and they were exquisite!
I make this frosting for my italian Chococlate Spice cookies. It is an old, very old recipe.
This frosting is delicious! I made this recipe to frost Martha's Chocolate Surprise Cookies. Super easy to make!!!
