Almond Butter Frosting

This is my favorite frosting for cut-out cookies!

INGREDIENTS:
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, at room temperature
4 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup milk (goat milk works great if you're allergic to cow's milk)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 - 2 teaspoons imitation almond extract (do it to taste!)
Milk
Food coloring (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Beat butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar, beat well. Add the milk, vanilla, and almond extract.
2. Gradually add remaining powdered sugar. Add milk to desired spreading consistency. Add food coloring.
   

NOTE: This will frost a 9X13" cake. Double the recipe to frost two 8- or 9-inch cakes.
