Butter Sugar Cookies And Frosting. Here's a terrific recipe for icing sugar cookies, no raw egg whites. For any recipes that require egg whites, you can purchase dried, powdered egg whites at cake-decorating supply stores that can be substituted in most recipes calling for the regular raw egg whites, then you can still lick the bowl! Pipes easily from a pastry bag and dries on the cookies so your designs stay put! I made this again last night tried to spread the icing on the cookies (vs. using a pastry bag). It was very smooth for the first few cookies, but then turned really "grainy".
For frosting, beat confectioners' sugar, butter, vanilla and enough milk to reach desired consistency.
If desired, add a few drops of food coloring.
Cut a small hole in the tip of a pastry bag or in a corner of a food-safe plastic bag; transfer frosting to bag.
