Prep Time: 5

Servings: cups icing

Calories: 821kcal

1/4 cup salted butter
1 tbsp vegetable shortening *optional, this will help the icing to crust and get hard on the outside
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1-2 tbsp milk, room temperature *can add more to thin, as desired.

In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, combine the butter and shortening.
Add the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time along with a splash of milk, mixing until smooth.
Repeat until all of the powdered sugar has been added.
Add the vanilla to the icing and mix thoroughly.
Now slowly add more milk until you’ve reached your desired consistency. I like to keep mine thicker because it will thin when it is spread onto warm cookies, cinnamon rolls or quick bread.
