Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and corn syrup.
- Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Check the consistency: add more milk, a teaspoon at a time, for a thinner icing suitable for flooding; add small amounts of powdered sugar to thicken for piping outlines.
- If you want multiple colors, divide the icing into separate bowls and add food coloring a drop at a time until you reach the desired shade.
- Use the icing immediately for piping details or flooding cookies.
- Let iced cookies dry completely (several hours to overnight, depending on humidity) before stacking or packaging them.
Notes
For a glossy finish, don’t skip the corn syrup. Store any leftover icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
