Buttercream Frosting for Cookies

With an electric mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add in powdered sugar and heavy cream a little at a time alternating and mixing between additions. Continue adding and mixing until all the powdered sugar and cream has been added. Add in vanilla and salt and mix until well incorporated.

Add food coloring if desired and mix, add additional food coloring until desired color is reached. You can also separate the frosting into smaller bowls to color separately if you want more than one color of frosting.
