Instructions
-
Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of confectioners’ sugar, butter, vegetable shortening, vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons of milk. Beat the mixture until smooth.
-
Beat Until Fluffy: Gradually add the remaining confectioners’ sugar to the mixture, beating continuously until the frosting becomes light and fluffy. This should take approximately 3 minutes of beating.
-
Adjust Consistency: Add the remaining milk gradually, as needed, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. If you wish to add food coloring for a vibrant touch, now is the time.
-
Tip: When using food coloring paste, remember that a little goes a long way. These pastes are potent, so start with a small amount and gradually add more until you achieve the desired hue. Unlike regular food coloring, paste won’t thin out your frosting, allowing you to maintain the perfect consistency.
Enjoy spreading this luscious frosting over your freshly baked White Velvet Cutout Cookies, creating edible works of art that are as delightful to the eyes as they are to the taste buds! 🍪✨
