Instructions
- Beat powdered sugar, vanilla, corn syrup and 1 tablespoon milk in a small bowl until smooth.
- Add milk a little at a time to reach desired consistency.
- Stir in food coloring to reach desired color. Decorate cookies and allow icing to set.
Notes
- *Number of cookies iced will depend on size and amount of icing used on each cookie.
- Consistency of the Icing
- If you've watched cookie decorating videos you'll usually see both:
- If you're making fancy cookies, you'll likely want both consistencies. If it's too thick, add a little more milk (1/2 teaspoon at a time, it doesn't take much). If it’s too runny, add a little more powdered sugar.
- You can test one cookie to make sure it doesn't run off the edges and holds it shape well enough but still spreads.
- To Ice Cookies:
- If you are new to piping with icing, practice your ‘drawing’ on a piece of parchment paper until you get the hang of it. Instant sugar art!
- thick icing (peanut butter consistency) used to outline the shape
- thinner icing to fill the inside (more like a gravy consistency)
- piping bag with a #2 cake decorating tip and outline sugar cookies.
- Once the cookie outline has set for about 10 minutes, then you can ‘flood’ the inner section of the cookie with the same or another color.
- Top with sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or a variety of fun toppings!
