Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Use an electric mixer at medium-high speed to MASH the butter until it is creamy. Slowly add in the sugar until the frosting looks smooth. Add in the vanilla and 2 Tbsp. milk. You can add in a bit more milk if the consistency isn't quite what you're looking to achieve. If you decide to do that, make sure to do it slowly so you don't end up with runny, liquid frosting.

Icing is not nearly as complicated to make as it would appear. One simply as to take a little bit of sugar about 1 cup and mix it with about 2 tablespoons of milk. One could also add some vanilla for flavor.

Can you replace caster sugar with icing sugar in baking cookies?

In some cases yes, but not if you're making icing. Icing sugar is far finer grained, and as such caster sugar will not be an adequate replacement in this case. (Your icing will be granular and not set properly). You may be able to if it's a meringue recipe, but you'd be better off finding a recipe that does not use icing sugar to begin with.
