Buttercream Frosting

Notes

We highly recommend using a silicon baking mat AND using a thin metal spatula so cookies do not lost their shape while being transfered to the cookie sheet.
Start by adding 2 tbsp. of milk to dough. Only add more milk if dough seems too dry. Do not exceed recommended 4 tbsp. of milk or else cookies will be too runny.
Be sure to flour work surface AND the top of the dough while rolling out cookies.
