Frosting with crispy edges

·         1½ cups butter, room temp

·         1 cup vegetable shortening, room temp

·         8 cups powdered sugar

·         1 tsp salt

·         2 tbsp milk

·         2 tbsp light corn syrup

·         2 tsp vanilla extract

Put the butter and shortening in the mixer with the whisk attachment. Whip for 7 minutes, until light, fluffy, and white in color.

With the mixer off, add in the rest of the ingredients. Turn the mixer onto low until all of the sugar has been combined. Turn back up to medium-high and let mix for another 7 minutes.

At this point, add any food coloring or other flavorings (cookie bits), and whip just long enough to combine.
