Greg's Birthday Dessert means finding our new favorite frosting!

I stumbled across the best frosting recipe ever by accident… and best part is that when I was searching for a frosting recipe, I had forgot that powdered sugar is a main ingredient in frosting and I don’t have any… so here’s what happened: Greg’s birthday is Wed, we celebrated last night since he was off because of the holiday and he has a meeting right after work on Wed that will keep him out until 9 or 10pm… He said “since we are celebrating tonight, will you make this sugar cookie mix that Rick gave us?” I said “I was thinking about that since I can’t get you a cake ” (money too tight)… so I started looking for a frosting recipe and found "that's the best frosting I've ever had" on the Tasty Kitchen Blog… looked at it and thought “you don’t put flour in frosting?” (I keep telling y’all that I am not a Susie Homemaker lol) so anyway, you use 5 Tbs. flour, 1 c. milk, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 c. sugar and 1 c. butter (can do half butter and half shortening which I did to conserve my butter supply hehe)... Whisk the milk and flour together and place over medium heat, stir constantly until it becomes thick (mine wasn't thickening for a long time, then suddenly it did!), let it cool completely! add vanilla and stir together. In a bowl, combine sugar and butter (in my case 1/2 c. butter and 1/2 c. shortening) and whip until fluffy and well mixed. Make sure your flour/milk mixture is completely cooled, add to sugar/butter and mix on medium-high until completely mixed and resembles whipped cream (I beat it for about 3 minutes)... frost your cooled dessert... Oh My!! it is delicious Greg was in love with it as well as O and I! (yes, we taste tested it before frosting the cookies)... So I frosted the cookies, and I stuck a candle in the middle cookie and we surprised Greg by singing Happy Birthday.. we all enjoyed even though it isn’t a sugar cookie frosting (apparently it’s best on chocolate or red velvet cake )... Oh by the way, the frosting was the perfect mix between a buttercream and a whipped frosting! Delicious!
