Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine sugar, shortening, water and vanilla. Beat on low speed to combine, then beat on medium speed for a full five minutes. It won't look like Icing at first, but keep the mixer going for a full five minutes, and then you're done!
  • Note: If you're not using this for decorating, but just for icing the cake, thin the icing by adding 3 tbs. of corn syrup, or water to the icing.

EASY COOKIE FROSTING

This is a quick put-together frosting that I found in a cookie cookbook. You don't have to wait for the butter or margarine to soften before you make it so you can make it on a whim and it spreads on nice and thick without that store bought taste. I also like the way you don't have to wait all night for it to harden up. Easy ingredients makes it a real keeper!
