1 cup confectioner sugar
2 tsp corn syrup
2 tsp milk or more
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Directions/Instructions:
- Pour all ingredients into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula, stir the sugar cooking icing for 1-2 mins until it is smooth and glossy.
- Once smooth and glossy, mix in a tiny bit of food coloring as desired. If wanting to use multiple colors, divide the icing into their own bowls before adding the color. (Note: The correct consistency when driving a knife through the center and the "crease" closes up in 15 sec. If it takes longer than 15 sec, add more water about 1/8 tsp at a time. If it takes shorter than 15 sec, need to add a little more powdered sugar about 1 tsp at a time)
- Spoon the icing into piping bags with #1 or #2 tips. Or use plastic Ziploc bags and snip off one corner.
- To decorate, the first outline each cookie with the icing. Once outlined, fill in the rest of the cookie with the icing and use a toothpick to help spread the icing and fill in any holes or bubbles.
- Allow the icing to harden for about 12 hours, uncovered. Do not need to cover the cookies while they're hardening.
