This is a great basic frosting recipe. Good for making birthday cakes with really sweet icing. Since my daughter is allergic to milk, I substituted Rich's whip. It was very creamy and smooth.

The perfect compliment to Paige's Sour Cream Cut-Out Cookies! I added a dash of salt to cut the sweetness and used a bit more milk to make the consistancy a little easier to spread. We had plenty of frosting to decorate 3 dozen cookies in four different colors. Thanks, taylortwo, for a great combination!
