Frosting for Pumpkin Cookies (or a cake, for that matter):

Cream together for a good amount of time:

• 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 Cup Butter

Add ¾ Cup lukewarm Milk a little at a time and beat it up a lot after each addition.  (Note:  I usually put the measured milk in the microwave for about 30 seconds).  When the mixture is silky, add 1 teaspoon of Vanilla.  Yummy!
