I have searched many years for an easy cookie frosting recipe that hardens (trying to avoid having to make royal icing), and finally found this!
sugar cookie frosting
2/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
2 lbs powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and milk with an electric mixer. Slowly mix in powdered sugar and extracts.
Frost sugar cookies immediately. Let frosting harden. Store cookies in air tight container.

best and easiest fudge recipe
made a quick batch of these to share with some friends - and they were the most, wonderful, bite-size treat!
chocolate fudge
36 pieces, 1 9x9 pan
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
3 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper, leaving the ends out to serve as "handles" which will help lift the fudge out of the pan.
In a double boiler or stainless steel bowl over simmering water, combine the condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, vanilla and almond extract. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in nuts, if using.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
Spread gently then cover lightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator until the fudge is firm.
Lift the chilled fudge out of the pan and cut into small squares.
Serve and enjoy!
