Ingredients

  • 2 cups powdered (icing) sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk + extra as needed
  • 2 tablespoons (or to taste) rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  • Let butter soften on counter (this step is crucial or it won't mix properly).
  • Add the sugar, butter, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of milk to a mixing bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, mix on low until it has the consistency of frosting. If it's too thick, thin it out with a little bit of water at a time.
  • Once it's at your desired consistency, add the sprinkles and mix or stir them in. 
  • Frost cookies or cupcakes as needed. I suggest keeping the frosting in a cool place if you're not going to use it right away (e.g. fridge) because it tends to get melty.
