White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

My friend shared Valentine's sugar cookies with me. They had this amazing frosting on top. From The Bewitchin' Kitchen.

1 C. unsalted butter, softened
3 C. powdered sugar
1/4 C. whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 oz. white chocolate chips or finely chopped Baker's white chocolate

Melt the white chocolate, by either using a double broiler or placing the chocolate into a glass bowl and heating in the microwave in 30-second intervals and stirring until melted. Let melted chocolate cool to room temperature.

Place softened butter in a bowl and sift the powdered sugar over top. Starting slow, mix until incorporated and then beat until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape the mixing bowl. Add the cream and vanilla. Stir in the melted, cooled chocolate. Mix at medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes.
