Notes:
● I cup of butter in the US = 2 sticks.
● For my UK and Australian friends: confectioners sugar is icing sugar (powdered sugar, 10x).
● You may need more than one tablespoon of milk to get your icing to the consistency you would like.
● When icing the cookies you would like them slightly warm, not cold, and definitely not hot.
