Calories: 34kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar - *more to thicken if needed
- 2 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoon clear flavored liquor or vanilla extract - vanilla extract will add color
- 1-3 tablespoon light corn syrup
- food coloring - your choice of colors
Instructions
- Combine powdered sugar, water, liquor or extract and 1 tablespoon of corn syrup in a bowl, working out any lumps. Remove a portion of this mixture for outlines and details and place in a zippered bag.
- Adjust with corn syrup, water or liquor to reach your desired consistency for flooding the cookie with icing. The more corn syrup you use, the more glossy the finish will be and the longer it will take to dry. Using only 1 tablespoon corn syrup will give you a matte finish. Thinning with water or liquor will improve the dry time and result in a matte finish.
- Separate into as many bowls or plastic bags as you will need for as many colors of icing you want.
- Add food coloring to each bag/bowl and mix until the color you desire is achieved.
- Decorate the cookies as you wish! A crust will develop in just a few minutes. It will dry to the touch in less than an hour and will be stackable within about 3-4 hours (unless you live in a humid environment, in which case you may want to let them sit overnight before stacking).
