Frost and decorate as desired by using easy creamy icing.
2 tbsp soft butter
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp salt
1 tsp lemon flavoring

In a small bowl, use a spoon to mix the butter, salt, flavoring, and part of the powdered sugar until creamy. Add more powdered sugar and the liquid as needed to create an easy to use icing for your cooking. Tint small portions of the frosting as desired for decorating your cookies.
