Ingredients:

• 1/2 Cup butter
• 1/2 Cup Crisco (butter flavored)
• 3 1/2-4 Cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2-3 Tbsp milk

Directions:

1. Beat your butter and crisco together. Add vanilla to mixture.
2. Add the powdered sugar together bit by bit. Also add milk bit by bit. A little powdered sugar, a little milk, until you have the desired consistency. You want it to stick to your finger just a little. Sticking to you too much? Add more powdered sugar. Not sticking to you at all? Add more milk.
3. Once you have your desired consistency, mix for 2-3 minutes. This will make the frosting nice and smooth.
4. Spread on cooled cookies.
