I am in the process of packing up my kitchen. There probably won’t be any new more updates until next week. I don’t think that I need anymore kitchen gadgets or utensils at all, but will more than likely find some other things to buy. Now that we have a house, I can buy all the kitchen gadgets in the world. 🙂 FROSTING: ½ cup butter; at room temperature ½ cup shortening 1 tsp vanilla extract pinch of salt 4 cups powdered sugar (sift after measuring) 5 Tbsp. milk food coloring, if desired 4. Prepare frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter and shortening together until smooth and creamy. Mix in vanilla and salt. Add powdered sugar (1 cup at a time) until combined, then add milk & mix until smooth and spreading consistency. Add a few drops of color, if desired. Spread over cooled cookie, then cut into bars. Yield: 32 bars
