How To Make sugar cookie buttercream frosting

    • Butter and extracts in a mixer.
      Step 1
      Beat together the butter and extracts.
  • Slowly add powdered sugar.
    Step 2
    Start adding the powdered sugar a little at a time, beating after each addition.
  • Desired frosting texture.
    Step 3
    Beat until you get the desired texture. If you add too much sugar, a little milk can be added.
  • Tinting the frosting.
    Step 4
    If desired, add food coloring and blend well. Split frosting into different bowls to make a variety of colors or keep it a clean white.
  • Buttercream frosting in piping bags.
    Step 5
    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 of a Ziploc bag to use as a piping bag. Don't use generic bags for this, though, as it may burst open at the seam.
