Ingredients:

• 1 Cup- Butter Softened (room temperature, not melted)
• 3 3/4 Cup- Confectioner's Sugar
• 1 Lemon (you will use the juice and the zest)
• 1 tsp- Vanilla Extract (use gluten free vanilla extract for g-free recipes)
• 1/8 tsp- Salt

Directions:

1. Combine butter, sugar, and salt and beat until well combined
2. Add lemon juice, zest, and vanilla and continue to beat until light and creamy

Here is the result! YUM!
