Creamy Vanilla Frosting
Creamy Vanilla Frosting
Note:Â This is a thick, almost dough-y frosting, so youâll roll it out like a dough rather than piping or spreading â itâs somewhere between a peppermint patty and an oreo.
Â
Method:Â
-Measure all dry ingredients into bowl of your stand mixer, set on low speed to combine.Â
-Add shortening, corn syrup, extract, and food coloring and continue mixing on low speed until everything is fully homogenous.Â
-Mixture should resemble a dough and shouldnât stick to your hands.Â
-If using, fold in crushed candy canes in by hand.Â
-Press into disc and wrap tightly in plastic. Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes before using.Â
-Frosting can be made 2- 3 days ahead of time stored in this fashion. Â
-Roll out frosting:Â
-Remove frosting from fridge. Unwrap and dust your surface, rolling pin, and both sides of your frosting with confectioners sugar.
-Roll out frosting until ÂŒâ thick, dusting with confectioners sugar as needed to prevent sticking.Â
-Using the same cutter used for your cookies, cut rounds of frosting. Then, using a smaller sized cutter (or the rounded end of a metal piping tip) cut another concentric circle out of the center of your round.
-Remove the smaller of the circles of frosting, leaving behind an âOâ shaped round of frosting.Â
-Carefully transfer âOâsâ to a sheet tray and place in fridge until ready to assemble.Â
-Re-roll the inner circles of frosting along with scraps until you have enough rounds for your sandwiches.
