To make the icing, cream butter, sugar and vanilla together. Add milk by the TB and mix well until you get the desired consistence. Food coloring may be added to small batches to decorate the cookies.
I found this cookie recipe in a novel, "Summer by the Sea" by Susan Wiggs. It sounded too good not to try. We only make these cookies once a year to give away at Christmas time. They're absolutely delicious and worth the calories!!
