Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.

Serving

  • Use the frosting to decorate your Christmas cookies as you wish.
  • Spread or pipe the frosting onto cooled cookies. Use a spatula for a smooth look or a piping bag for decorative designs.
  • Add sprinkles or other festive decorations on top of the frosting for extra flair.

Storage

  • Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Make sure to cover it well to prevent it from drying out.

Notes

For a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar until it reaches desired consistency. To create a thinner frosting, add more milk. Experiment with flavors by adding other extracts.
