Instructions
- Prepare two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or hand mixer with a large bowl, cream together COWS Creamery butter and sugar until soft and creamy. Mix in the egg and vanilla.
- Add the flour and mix until just combined. Add milk, if needed add in another 1 tsp milk for a more pipe-able consistency - add as little as possible for less spreading though.
