In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, confectioners' sugar, and milk until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and food coloring. Spread on or between cookies.

I like to use powdered sugar and milk. I also add a little vanilla or some other flavoring. You can also add a tiny bit of butter or margarine. Just put the powdered sugar in a bowl and add the flavoring and , if you want, food coloring. Then stir in enough milk to make it spreadable. It doesn't take much. It will get firm, hard but not hard like royal icing. It will be hard enough it won't run and smear . If you want soft icing, just buy cake icing in a tub and use it.
