Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy. This should take about a minute.
- If you want to add color, divide the icing into smaller bowls and mix in your favorite food coloring. Get creative!
- Now comes the fun part—decorate those cooled sugar cookies! You can use piping bags to create beautiful designs, squeeze bottles for fun drizzles, or simply spread it on with a spatula for a more rustic look.
- Allow the icing to set on the cookies for a few hours until it becomes firm. If you find the icing too thick, a touch more milk will do wonders, while a bit more powdered sugar can thicken it perfectly.
Notes
For a shiny finish, add the corn syrup; work with cooled cookies to avoid melting the icing.
