Directions:
1) In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, whip butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar. Add vanilla and heavy cream and mix until smooth.
2) Allow cookies to cool 10 minutes and ice while warm, or allow them to cool and melt your icing in the microwave for 30 seconds.
3) Using a measuring cup, pour icing on each cookie individually and using a cake spatula, smooth your icing before moving onto the next cookie. OR--dip cookies in warm icing, and rest on wire rack or parchment paper. Add cookie decors as desired.

Personally I find the dipping method works the best.

Dipping my shortbread cookies was a revelation for me! Sometimes it gets a little messy in the flipping it over to the wire rack but just be sure your frosting stays warm and thinner.
