Sour Cream Frosting or Greek Yogurt:
1/2 cup butter (room temp)
3/4 cup sour cream or I used greek yogurt and it was delicious
about 1/2 lb package of powder sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup milk
food coloring

Directions:
Cream together butter, sour cream and salt. Slowly add powdered sugar. When it gets so thick its not frosting like add a splash of milk. Alternate this process until your frosting is desired consistency. Add food coloring and whip on high for 1 minute. Technically you are suppose to keep cookies unfrosted in fridge, and then frost cold cookies right before serving.
