This homemade sugar cookie frosting is super smooth & spreadable, making it a perfect pair to your favorite sugar cookie recipe. I prefer to spread it the old fashioned way with a knife, but it also works well for loose piping.

In a large bowl, beat the softened ½ cup i.e. 1 stick butter and 4 oz. cream cheese on medium speed using a hand or stand mixer (with paddle attachment) for 2-3 minutes (until creamy).
Keeping the mixer on medium speed, slowly add in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon almond extract, and 3 cups powdered sugar. Add 4 teaspoons milk, turn the mixer to high speed, and continue mixing for 2 minutes. If frosting is thicker than you would like, add an extra 1 teaspoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
If desired, add a few drops of food coloring for a colored variation!
