I appreciate the end. It makes me feel better about all the trial and error that goes into my baking

I never knew adding shortening could make such a difference! I can't wait to make some of these.

I agree, sugar cookies need a firm frosting. I have been able to get mine to a perfect consistency using all butter but I do think it takes a little trial and error to get a good feel for the perfect frosting consistency. Bloopers are fun!

I’m making these with my 3 year old daughter! Thank you for the recipe 🤩

Do we need the shortening or is it okay without it

How do you pack, store, and transport them eithout frosting melting or getting messed up?

Does the icing hold up for stacking ??? Im thinking of making these for a cookie exchange. (Wife asking)

Will this have to be refrigerated because of the milk in the recipe?
