📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and shortening until smooth.
2
Add half the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, 3 tbsp heavy cream and mix until smooth.
Powdered sugar4 cupsVanilla extract (Use clear extract for pure white frosting)2 tsp
3
Add the remainder of the powdered sugar and a little more heavy cream (as needed) and mix until soft and fluffy. Go easy on the heavy cream. A little amount goes a long way. If you add too much, the icing will be very runny.

Spread this icing on top of your sugar cookies with a spatula in a circular pattern and toss some sprinkles. Enjoy!
5
Optional: Cover and chill icing in the fridge overnight. When you are ready to use it, let it sit on the counter for ⏱️ 20-30 minutes to soften. This extra time in the fridge allows the extract flavors to really deepen and develop. I always do this and highly recommend it. But, please note that the frosting still tastes great, when used immediately too. I am just fussy!
